corrosion resistant screw (#12 x 2-1/2” for out-swing or #8 x 3” for in-swing; provided) into the open screw hole. Make sure the screw passes through the shims and into the structural framing.

M.Check door operation. Open and close the door to check for proper operation. Make sure the door will latch correctly.

Note: If there are any problems with the operation, check to confirm the door frame is installed plumb, level and square. If the reveal between the door panel(s) and frame is not even, adjustments may be made:

Note: Doors with adjustable hinges will have a (+)(-) on the door panel hinge leaf to indicate possible adjustments and doors without adjustable hinges do not have adjustment indicators.

Adjustable hinges are not designed to make up for incorrect installation of a door frame. Before adjusting hinges, confirm the door is installed plumb, level and square.

N. For Doors with adjustable hinges: The hinges can be used to move the panel side to side by moving all hinges in the same direction or the hinges can slightly rotate the panel by adjusting the hinges in opposite directions. Use a T20 Torx wrench for Architect Series Doors or a 1/8” Allen wrench for Designer Series doors to turn the center screw clockwise (+) to increase the space between the hinge side of the frame and door panel. Turn the center screws counter- clockwise (-) to decrease the space between the hinge side of the frame and the door panel .

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 ¾ turn of the center screw provides approximately 5/32” adjustment.

O.On doors with a lock strike in the side, drill a 1/8” diameter x 2” deep pilot hole into the rough opening through the two pre-drilled holes in the frame. One pre-drilled frame hole is located in the center lock strike hole and the other is the upper frame corner installation hole approximately 8” from the top of the door frame head. Insert a #8 x 3” screw

(provided) into the pilot hole making sure it passes through the shim and into the rough opening framing.

Note: This step does not apply to center latching double doors.
