- Open and close your Andersen French door to determine where the door is rubbing.
- Open the door and insert a 5/32-inch hex wrench into the bottom portion of the door hinge.
- Push the hex wrench upward to access the vertical adjustment screw.
Similarly, you may ask, are door hinges adjustable?
Over time, homes can settle unevenly and heavy doors can pull on hinges, causing the door to stick and rub. Our adjustable hinges allow the door to be moved up and down, and side to side, in the frame to maintain alignment and help keep the door performing beautifully. Adjust 1/8" up and down, and 1/8" side to side.
People also ask, how do you adjust hinges?
Use screw 1 to adjust the doors from side to side. Turning the screw in a clockwise direction moves the door closer to the edge of the cabinet. You can adjust both the top and bottom hinge to move the doors closer together or further apart. If you loosen screws 2 & 4 the hinge backplate can be moved up or downwards.
Fix Sagging or Sticking Doors
- Tighten all the hinge screws. Check the hinge screws. Tighten the hinge screws in both the door and the jamb.
- Adjust a hinge. Replace the screw closest to the doorstop. Run a 3-in.
- Draw in the jamb. Drill through the jamb. Predrill a 1/8-in.
