I replaced the 3.5" hinges on an interior door with hinges of the same size. The only difference that I can see between the old and new hinges is that the barrels on the old set are slightly larger.

When I attempt to close the door now, the door hits the stop on the hinge side before it's completely closed - making it impossible to close the door.

I tried adding shims, since the hinges were not flush, but this didn't do anything to fix the problem. Any ideas of what could be happening here?

Resetting the hinges so the door sits a little further from the stop will work. Sometimes it is easier to remove the door stop and reset it away from the the door a bit, especially if you are refinishing the door jamb anyway

I would have to agree with the answer before mine in other words you set the hinges too far back towards the door stop that the door is now coming in contact with.
