CAUTION:

A.) Do NOT exceed three (3) holes tension for 180

door opening, or four (4) holes

B.) Always rotate the hex wrench clockwise regardless of the right-handed or the left-

handed door application.

INSTALLATION:

1.) Installing spring hinges:

Install spring hinges in normal manner with the adjustment end of the

hinge up, as shown in FIG. 1 of above.

2.) Adjusting spring torque:

a.) Adjust torque ONLY after all hinges are installed and after the door is

closed.

b.) Use the hex wrench to rotate the adjustment capstan clockwise to proper

spring tension, and then insert the tension pin into the tension hole. Make

sure the tension pin is flushed with the hinge and not sticking out.

c.) Remove the hex wrench and let door close by itself. To achieve the

proper closing force, change adjustment from one hole to the next, in

either direction by using the hex wrench as tension pin is removed and

reset.
