Strategies for correcting glass bounce and opening overlap problems
adjust hinges front - baCK.
A. Adjust center Hinge (Outer hinges stationary).
As this diagram indicates, pulling the middle hinge further back, pulls the inside edges closer to the surface or
edge which the glass rests upon. And pushing the middle hinge to the front, pushes the inside edges further
away from the surface or edge which the glass rests upon. (See Vertical Adjustment of Glass)
B. Adjust outside hinges (Center hinge stationary)
As this diagram indicates, pulling the outside hinge further back, pulls the outside edge closer to the surface
or edge which the glass rests upon. And pushing the middle hinge to the front, pushes the inside edges further
away from the surface or edge which the glass rests upon.
Which hinge(s) should I adjust first?
In most cases the center hinge is the first candidate, but if the arm/minicam is at its maximum or minimum
position, then obviously the outer hinges must be used. (See Vertical Adjustment of Glass)

A. Adjust outside hinges (Center hinge stationary)
This diagram indicates that raising the outside hinges widens the gap at the bottom; whereas, lowering the outside
hinges will draw the bottom edges closer together.
Which hinge(s) should I adjust first?
In most cases the center hinge is the first candidate, but if it cannot be adjusted because, either the adjustment screw
is “maxed” out or no additional shims can be added or removed, then obviously the outer hinges must be adjusted.
•Vertical Adjustment
1. Remove
top glass
and panel
enclosing
mini-top
hardware.
2. Lift open
glass panel(s)
and relieve
tension on
hinge.
3. Loosen hex screw
(1/4” allen).
4. Add or remove
shims as needed.
(see note on shims
below)
5. Close glass panel(s)
and check alignment
Retighten hex screw
and reinstall removed
NOTE: Standard shims thickness is 1/16”
