Adjusting external door hinges typically involves using an Allen key to shift the hinge and correct alignment issues, such as a door rubbing against the frame.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Using an Allen Key: Insert an Allen key into the adjustable hinge. Turning the Allen key clockwise shifts the hinge towards the door frame.
-
Correcting Door Rubbing: If the door is rubbing on the bottom, rotate the Allen key counter-clockwise. This will move the hinge away from the frame in that area.
In summary, adjusting external door hinges generally involves using an Allen key to make minor adjustments and correct alignment issues. Turning clockwise shifts the hinge towards the frame, while turning counter-clockwise shifts it away.
