3 options
1: Open door slightly and use a jack to lift the door back up. Use a rag to protect the paint
2: If you got the tools you can put a washer behind the hinge to raise the door
3: Buy new hinge
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
