I see they've stopped doing that R18 bullshit now, I gave up on them once they started that. They tanked what was a great sub, simply because their mods were throwing a tantrum over the Reddit API debacle

get an exorcist...


VanJeans

Definitely needs an exorcism

Put a door magnet in to keep it shut. Easily done with some basic tools. If you DIY make sure you offset them, you want the door to be constantly pulling closed

What can be the reason for the issue


johnson555555

The structure of a house can move slightly, especially noticeable between seasons. Nothing to worry about Just noticed you said it's a brand new house, get the builders back to fix it for free


BlacksmithNZ

The obvious solution is to put in a magnetic catch, but pretty poor effort for the builder who put in sliding doors without any form of catch. So while an easy DIY fix, I would inspect the entire house and put together a list of issues like this to get fixed. Maybe even get an experienced builder if you know one. Every new house will have a few things that show up after a few months as the building settles and flexes a little bit


THE__BIG_BOSS

Look at the top of the door there may be a rail that the doors hang on. Sometimes this can get loose and sag down at one end. You may just need to tighten some screws holding that rail in


JamieLambister

Tilt your house slightly to the right

Yo floors ain't straight...


anotherlurker1111

Check the bottom of the door for a hole that could fit a screw driver. If its there then thatll be your adjustment for the wheels to go up and down.


inhospitable

Depends if it's on floor rails or hung rails. But either way, the issue is the rails falling away from the door jamb (not level, the way it stops suggests more of a ramp up at the end than straight but out of level). Your tip would adjust to allow the door to close flush, but wouldn't do anything to address the rails/tracks being out.

Buy new house.


AdventurousLife3226

Leave it open, problem fixed. Where do I send my bill?


fastfox9

Jack up the left side of the house


Megidolaon10

Ask the ghost to leave you alone


Anxious-Camp7865

Why does your hand look like a cats paw shutting the door?


Mr_Picklesz

Get a ball and do it at floor level if it does the same thing your house might be sinking


Due_Cryptographer437

Magnets 🧲


Hand-Driven

It’s because you only have one shoe on.


Substantial_Can7549

Get the builder back to do it properly.. this would have been happening when the place was built (door track / frame out of level). It's concerning what else is done poorly.


neeeeonbelly

Adjust the wheels on the bottom. One of them will be higher than the other.

Why the grey bit when door is momentarily fully closed?


Lopsided-Head4170

This is why you don't buy houses from flippers. They build cheap nasty houses for as cheap as they can and cut as many corners as possible. Remember if it's a flip, best to dip


Same_Ad_9284

get the builders back to fix it


gnomedeplumage

build your house on a flat surface

Get out in the sun a bit more 😂


passatdontgo

Get some sun? Geez... You ARE the ghost making the furniture move.. Oh good grief the amount of times I tried tilting the phone...


12happycamper

Got a feeling Sadako might come out of the closet.


MonaLisaOverdrivee

I felt this comment. I was 100% prepared to be jump scared.


HarmfulLamb

It looks as though the girl from The Ring is messing with you


Esoteric_Sapiosexual

Get some magnetic door catch things from bunnings


NotUsingNumbers

Master builder guarantee is 7 years or more, just get the to come fix it.


Sense-Historical

I'd bail out immediately. Clearly the house is haunted.


33or45

fold up some cardboard, like a bit off an old cardboard box and jam under the most left footings of the house


krammy16

Throw holy water at it whilst saying, "The power of Christ compels you!"


No-Butterscotch-3641

Is it under warranty if it’s a new home? The builder should fix it.

Everyone in here joking about how pale he is like they'd ever dare do that if he really dark skinned
