How to I keep the top corner of the door from rubbing the frame?
The front door is very heavy. I took it off for remodeling and when I replaced it something is not the same. The door is now tilted where the top of the door rubs the inside frame when opening and closing. You can see a gap at the bottom between the door and the inside frame. How do I balance the door so it doesn't rub the top when opening and closing?
It might help to stop thinking of the door in the closed position and try to imagine it in the open position - the position it was in when the hinge screws were tightened up.
From what you say either the top hinge needs to come outwards slightly or the bottom hinge inwards.
You may be able to tell which by closing the door as best you can and looking to see if there's a gap between the door and the door jamb on the hinge edge.
With the door open place a spirit level on the edge to see if it's been hung out of true vertical.
