Does anyone have any ideas on how to bend an AD hinge?
I have a large pipe wrench but my vice is not anchored strong enough to pull that hard on.
Can you post some photos of exactly how the door is fitting, far and near photos. A LOT Of time the top being out if often because the bottom is IN. Is it out at the front of the door or the rear of the door?
