2-D Hinge Adjustment

NOTE: Use only a hand screwdriver for adjustments. NEVER use a power screw driver as this will cause severe damage to the hinge.

There are two types of adjustable hinges for each door panel: Set Hinge: One per panel. This hinge has the vertical (up and down) adjustment. Guide Hinge: Minimum of two per panel. These hinges have the horizontal adjustment. The guide hinges float up and down with the adjustment of the set hinge to prevent hinge binding. Normal hinge placement has the set hinge spaced between the top and bottom guide hinge. Adjust the door panel up or down by turning the screw marked (V) on the set hinge with a Phillips screwdriver. When the (V) vertical adjustment is at the top and you turn the screw with the arrow, the door panel moves up. When the (V) vertical adjustment is at the bottom of the hinge and you turn the screw with the arrow, the door panel moves down. The vertical adjustment has 32 turns from its extremes, 16 turns on center to either vertical extreme. A center line "mark" is located near the hinge knuckle on the door part leaf to aid in adjustment. Adjust the door panel in or out by turning the screw marked (H). Turn clockwise to increase margins, and counter clockwise to decrease margins. The horizontal adjustment has 7 turns, 3 1/2 turn from center to either horizontal extreme.
