SWINGING DOOR HINGE ADJUSTMENT
Proper adjustment of a swinging door panel occurs when there are 
even sight lines both vertically and horizontally, and there is sufcient 
contact between the weatherstrip and the frame and to prevent the 
panel(s) from rubbing and allow the panel(s) to operate, seal, latch and 
lock smoothly.
Correct improper alignment by making adjustments to the hinge 
adjustment screws, 1/4 turn at a time, and then checking for 
properalignment.
STANDARD NON-ADJUSTABLE HINGE
Make horizontal 
adjustments by deepening 
the hinge rout depth on 
frame with a chisel and 
adding hinge shims (thin 
plastic or wood plates) 
behind the necessary 
hinge plate(s). The hinge 
should be ush with the 
wood surface.Call us to 
order hinge shims.
HISTORICAL INSWING 
ADJUSTABLE HINGE
There are two types of inswing adjustable hinges: H (Horizontal) and 
H-V (Horizontal-Vertical). The H hinge allows horizontal adjustment, 
and an H-V hinge allows both horizontal and vertical adjustment. A 
panel has one H hinge at the bottom, one H hinge at the top, and one 
H-V hinge in the center.
Vertical Adjustment
With 1/4" open-end 
wrench, turn screws 
counter-clockwise in 
“V” slot in H-V hinge at 
center to move panel 
up or down to desired 
position. If the door panel 
needs to go up or down 
in the opening, adjust the 
vertical (V) hinge.
