Adjusting a spring loaded door hinge

12/03/2007 12:35 PM smbodnar

Hello Everyone,

The door from our kitchen to the garage is a heavy, fire resistant door. It has the spring loaded hinges to make it close all the way after opening. Recently, the door is not closing all the way and I want to adjust these hinges, but am not sure how. I know the top of the hinge uses an allen wrench, but I cant seem to increase the tension. Any help would be appreciated.
