Note: If there are any problems with the operation,
check to confirm the door frame is installed plumb, level
and square. If the reveal between the door panel(s) and
frame is not even, adjustments may be made:
Doors without adjustable hinges: Plastic shims located
behind the hinges may be removed to adjust the reveal
between the door panel and door frame. Additional
hinge shims may be added if required.
Note: Doors with adjustable hinges will have a (+)(-) on the door panel hinge leaf
to indicate possible adjustments and doors without adjustable hinges do not have
adjustment indicators.
Adjustable hinges are not designed to make up for incorrect installation of a door frame.
Before adjusting hinges, confirm the door is installed plumb, level and square.
O. For Doors with adjustable hinges: The hinges can be used to move the panel side to
side by moving all hinges in the same direction or the hinges can slightly rotate the panel
by adjusting the hinges in opposite directions. Use a T20 Torx wrench for Entry Doors or
a 1/8" Allen wrench for Designer Series doors to turn the center screw clockwise (+) to
increase the space between the hinge side of the frame and door panel. Turn the center
screws counter-clockwise (-) to decrease the space between the hinge side of the frame
and the door panel .
