1 1/2” overlap hinges. Door touches wall

last year

Just enough to scrape the paint off of the wall as long as i have adequate clearance to the next door will swapping over to a 1 1/4” overlap hinge do the trick?

We don't know what type of door, or hinge you are referring to, or where the door is touching the wall, or what type of spacer you are using, or if the spacer solves the problem.

A picture and a few words often tells the story best.

More filler. Hinge restrictor clip. Both are sometimes needed .
