screws to obtain full hinge adjustment. If necessary, loosen the top and bottom screws, and immediately retighten them.
With the screws retightened, turn the adjustment hinge screw. If the hinge will not adjust any further then it is adjusted
as far as it will go. If more clearance is needed adjust the shims between the frame and the rough opening.
Note: DO NOT adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws loose; this could force the hinge to adjust beyond
its design capability which can cause the hinge to bind, damage the hinge and/or pull out the screws. A 3/4 turn of
the center screw provides approximately 1/16" adjustment.
Note: For more issues with the adjustable strike latching, go to the troubleshooting section at the end of this instruction.
ProLine Series only:
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.
