There are two types of hinges on each door panel. A Vertical hinge
stamped with a (V) and Horizontal hinges stamped with an (H).
The Vertical (V) hinge is always the second hinge from the bottom
and moves the entire panel up or down. The remaining hinges are
Horizontal (H) hinges, allowing the panel to move toward or away from
thejamb.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
If the door panel
needs to go up or
down in the opening,
adjustthevertical(V)
hinge. Some doors
have differently
handed hinges where
one vertical hinge will
appear to be upside
down when compared
to the other vertical
hinge on the other
panel. The panel will
move in the direction
of the arrow when
theadjustmentscrew
is turned in that
direction.

need to be moved
