The front door of my house is out of square. The top of the door

need to shim from the bottom? TIA

Is the door out of square or is the house settling making it look like it's
out of square?

Hardly matters, dontcha think? The door is out of square with respect to the frame.

(Unless you think you can rectify this by jacking the house and squaring the door frame ...)
