Residential Door Spring Hinges
General Installation Instructions:
All steps must be followed to insure that the Hager Spring Hinge will function as designed.
1. Install spring hinge to door and frame at either top and bottom or center
and bottom hinge locations. Then, install butt hinge in conjunction with 1750 Series. Check for proper door
clearance. There should be at least 1/4 Inch (6 mm) clearance at the bottom of the door for vacuum relief.
2. Open the door by hand to 90 degree angle, and push it closed. If the door latches, the hinges are ready to
receive tension. If there is any resistance and the door does not latch, this indicates that the door is
either out of balance or misaligned. This condition will have to be corrected before tension can be applied
to the spring hinges.
3. Door weight should not exceed the recommended requirements. This includes all hardware and veneer.
SPRING HINGE ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install spring hinge in normal manner with the adjustment end up. Place door in closed
position.
2. Insert Hex wrench in adjusting location. (Figure 1)
4. Rotate Hex wrench clockwise and insert locking pin loosely in adjusting hole. (Figure 2)
5. Release Hex wrench until locking pin contacts side of adjusting hole.
6. Remove Hex wrench and check the door closing force. If closing force is not satisfactory, repeat steps 2
thru 6.
Caution #1: Use proper safety protection while installing the Hager Spring Hinge.
Caution #2: Door should be in a closed position.
Caution #3 Do not adjust past two (2) holes when a 180 degree opening is required
Do not adjust tension past three (3) when a 90 degree opening is required.
Caution #4 Always rotate the Hex Wrench in a clockwise direction, regardless of right or left hand
application. |
