Hello!

As you can see from the attached picture, the front door to our apartment is slightly bent out of shape. It's a heavy metal door and I am not sure what to do - I am slightly concerned as, the way things stand, it's just a little too easy to slop a crowbar in there.

Do you think that this kind of problemis repairable or should I just not bother and buy a new door?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

just an idea; find the widest gap then run a line all around the architrave using the door as a guide; trim back to the line with a chisel; smooth the edges with abrasive paper then paint the exposed architrave; reposition the catch plate? :) Assuming the architrave and frame are timber?

A quick easy fix but not secure;

Kind regards, Colin.
