Practice this question and more.

An exterior door is installed in a rough opening and the top corner on the strike side does not close tight to the weather-stripping. How is this corrected?

Shim behind the brick mould at the bottom on the strike side and at the top on the hinge side.
Shim behind the brick mould at the bottom on the hinge side and at the top on the strike side.
Shim behind the brick mould at the bottom of the strike side.
Shim behind the brick mould at the top on the hinge side.

The correct answer is: Shim behind the brick mould at the bottom on the hinge side and at the top on the strike side.

To correctly answer this question, brick moulds should be shimmed behind both the bottom and top on the hinge side, rather than just the strike side (as mentioned in options A and C). This will help ensure proper alignment and a tight seal. Option D is incorrect as it only addresses the top, but not the bottom, which is also important in creating a secure fit.
