        "text": "When an interior door swings open or drifts closed on its own, the door jamb is out of plumb. If the top of the jamb leans slightly forward or backward, gravity pulls the door slab in that direction. To correct this without removing the whole frame, a technician can adjust the hinge pins to add slight friction or shim behind specific hinge leaves to counter the tilt. If the wall framing itself has shifted significantly, realigning the side jamb with shims behind the casing may be necessary so the door rests securely in any open position.",
