Alignment of Doors with Adjustable Hinges
Some doors are equipped with adjustable hinges. Use the following procedure to
properly adjust the hinges if necessary.
WARNING
Never remove all hinge attachment screws without first securing the door or door
section to prevent it from falling over and injuring someone.
CAUTION
Care must be taken during hinge adjustment to ensure that the hinge attachment
fasteners are not over-torqued during reinstallation or retightening, as the underlying
door tapping plate could become stripped out.
Close the door completely, and remove the hinge leaf cover screws from all
hinge covers.
Loosen up all 4 hinge leaf attachment screws on each hinge slightly so that they
are free to move.
Install shims around the entire perimeter of the door. The goal is to perfectly
center the door in the opening.
Using a small wrench, or finger pressure, tighten the micro-adjustment screw on
each hinge until it is snug. Upper screws should be adjusted clockwise, lower
screws counter-clockwise.
Retighten all hinge leaf attachment screws for all hinges. Be sure not to over
torque the screws
Remove all of the shims, and check for door swing clearances and operation
If the misalignment has been corrected, replace the hinge leaf covers and
screws. If further adjustment is necessary, repeat the above steps using different
combinations of shims until the adjustment is completed.
