Doors
Alignment
Door alignment can be achieved by releasing the bottom hinge fixing
bracket. The bracket is provided with slots allowing alignment
adjustment.
Gasket
The door gasket clips into the door gasket retainer extrusion on the inside of
the door and may be removed for repair or replacement by peeling from the
frame, starting at a corner.
New gaskets, when fitted, can be lightly lubricated with a clear silicone
grease or similar compound to lessen the possibility of the gasket rolling.
Should the gasket be out of shape when in place, use hot air (i.e. from hair
drier) to realign.
Tension
Adjustment
The door has an internal torsion bar, pretensioned at the factory, which
enables the door to self-close. If necessary, door tension can be adjusted by
rotating the capstan mounted in the bottom hinge bracket.
In the event the door tension can no longer be adjusted, the torsion bar may
need replacing (see “Torsion Bar Replacement” on page 43).
