Replacing D-1250 spring-loaded hinges on Walk-In door panels

A. Close the door. Securely hold the door in place by

shimming between the outside doorcap and the door

frame. Remove the slotted machine screws from the

hinge base and blade. If tamperproof screws are used
See Figure 5. Remove the defective hinge assembly.

Secure the new hinge assembly with a screwdriver by

tightening the machine screws in the same holes.

door frame.

C. Open the door and check for proper operation and seal.

Shimming Walk-In door hinges

A.

If the Walk-In door is installed properly, no shimming is

required. Shim only where misapplication or poor

installation of the door panel have caused the door
cap to seal improperly. If the door cap toes outward at

the top or bottom of the latch side of the panel, shim
the diagonally opposite hinge base outward, forcing
the corner of the door cap back into alignment with

the door frame for a positive seal. See Figure 6.

B. To shim hinges on Walk-In doors, loosen the machine

screws on the base of the hinge enough to slip the

required number of shims into place behind the base.
See Figure 7. Where tamper-proof screws are used,

loosen them by tapping the screw head

counterclockwise with a center-punch and hammer as
shown in Figure 5.

C. Retighten machine screws and check door cap for

proper seal.
