| I have a building inspection Monday(final occupancy), and one thing I can't seem to correct is the self closing hinges on the 'garage to house' door.
I have wound them (allen key style) all the way and probably too far now. Yet they still just ALMOST close it tight. Any other ideas? Is there anything else I can get? Or try? My hand is raw after fighting it all night- I must be doing something wrong! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Loosen the tension on the hinges and check to see how the door closes on its own. A bad fit will prevent the door from closing. |
|
| I had a similar thought: do you have weather stripping around the door that is rubbing a little and may prevent the door from closing that last 1/2" or so? |
|
| Or, from your local big box, purchase and install a closer with both closing speed and latch speed adjustments. |
