3. or bottom may be adjusted by loosening the screws
attaching the hinge to the hinge pillar and moving the
hinges in or out as required. (Replace any shakeproof
washers damaged in the adjustment process.)
4. Further adjustment at the lock side of the door may be
made by placing a small block of wood or a rubber
mallet against the top or bottom of the door opening and
closing the door on the block. This will spring the door
out slightly where it bears against the block. It may be
necessary to close the door against the block several
times while pressing firmly on part of the door that must
be sprung inward.
5. Door flanges may be adjusted inward by hammering
with a rubber mallet. It is advisable to protect painted
surfaces with masking tape before hammering.
6. In severe cases of door misalignment it may be necessary
to bend or straighten the hinge, using a suitable hinge
bending tool.
NOTE: Be sure hinge attaching screws are tight before
applying the hinge bending tool. To raise the door at the
lock pillar, bend the t op hi n g e outward; to lower the
door, bend hinge inward.
6. Re-adjust striker plate upon completion of door adjustment.

1. To raise or lower the door, place a jack as near the hinge
as possible (this will hold the weight of the door as the
hinge screws are loosened).
2. Use an awl to scribe around the upper and lower hinges
before loosening the hinge to front pillar screws, this will
insure proper horizontal alignment after vertical adjust-
ments have been made.
3. Loosen the upper and lower hinge screws.
NOTE: The amount of vertical hinge movement is very
limited. Do not damage the door with the jack when
making this adjustment.
4. Raise or lower the jack until the desired clearance i s
obtained, then tighten hinge screws securely. Check the
scribe marks to make certain the rear section of the door
did not move forward or rearward during the above
operation.
To move the upper section of the door ahead or back,
loosen the upper hinge screws, to move the lower section,
loosen the lower hinge screws and push or pull the door in
the desired direction. Retighten hinge screws securely after
adjustments.
