· Use caution when working at elevated heights and around window and door openings. Follow the manufacturers’
instructions for ladders and scaffolding. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
· Follow manufacturers’ instructions for hand and power tools. Always wear safety glasses. Failure to do so could result in
injury, product or property damage.
· Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting techniques and a reasonable number of people with enough strength
to lift, carry, and install window and door products. Heavier windows and doors will require mechanical assistance. Failure
to do so could result in injury, product or property damage.
· Metal fasteners and components could corrode when exposed to preservative-treated or fire-retardant treated lumber.

• Hinge replacement WILL NOT correct problems
resulting from improper door installation
Examples of improper installation include units
not being installed plumb, level, and square,
excessively bowed jambs, and/or crowned sills.
NOTICE IMPORTANT
• Make all horizontal adjustments rst. Horizontal adjustments correct
most problems. Vertical adjustments are rarely needed.
• Adjust hinges with door slightly open. The door panel should be
supported by all hinges for maximum hinge performance.
• Start adjustments at bottom hinge and move upward.
Hinge Replacement
Remove and replace only one
hinge at a time. Removal of more
than one hinge may result in door
panel falling and potentially
causing personal injury, product,
and/or property damage.
