Interior French doors. Apparently never has closed right. Left door closes with even reveals Right door, spings back. Bullet catch won’t hold it shut. Reveal on “Inside” (hinge pin side of door) looks good. Reveal on “outside” (still an interior door) tight at the center hinge region. at top and bottom, looks like other door. Center hinge also looked like it was pinching when closed Removed one leaf of center hinge, little improvement, but still springs back. Hinge mortises look pretty good. If jamb is twisted, can the hinges be set deeper or shimmed to correct it? (jamb is probably 10″ to 12″ deep) Could the stop be causing the spring back at the center hinge where it pretty much contacts the door? Thoughts of things to do or consider tomorrow (concerning the door. Thanks.
