Smitty84, the tee nuts I used are bronze ones from Home Depot.

As part of troubleshooting a tilting/interfering door, be sure you doublecheck if your hinge screws that fasten the door are secure. Many on ours were stripped which I believe was the root cause of the door tilting. It allows the door edge to separate from the surround and hinge. The friction hinges just make it worse. So, I clamped the frame surround with a long bar clamp and replaced all the screws with #10 sheet metal screws. I also clamped the surround when I applied IRollman’s all thread repair.

I’ve added a pic of the sheet metal bracket on the hinge side of the door under the surround. This bracket is what the hinge screws, screw into. It’s pretty thin stuff.
