It's amazing how things around the house go for years before I get off my butt and figure out how to fix them. I built our home in 2004. I installed one double French door and two since center French doors. Two of them had become out of alignment over the years. Last week, while letting my dog out the double doors, I realized I needed to fix them. Thank you so much for your video. I was easy to find and very easy to follow. Wish I had gotten to them sooner. Now on to the other homeowner projects for an 18 year old home.
Wow! We have struggled with our anderson door for 15 years since it was new. Made the adjustments today and it works perfect! I did not realize you could raise or lower the height of the door. Thank You!
Thanks so much. I struggled with the out of wack doors for 3 years. Was afraid to make the call. after watching the video a few times, I have perfect swinging french doors again!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. My door was badly out of whack and hard to close and lock. Totally off kilter. Followed your directions and it is back to working perfectly.
OMG.. we read the instructions and were working on this for days-this video is a lifesaver !!!! It works !
Wow! great video tutorial. I bought this house and it has 30 yr old Frenchwood Andersen patio doors. One is leaking air, so I replaced the weather strip. It still leaks air and so I saw the door hinges need adjustments. I'm so glad to find this tutorial on adjusting the doors. Maybe making this adjustment will help seal off the air infiltration.
Thanks for your help!! My door was sagging. I thought the hinges broke.. but it was just the adjustments.. Great!
I have 2 sets of old Peach Tree French exterior doors, just like this one by Anderson. However, Peach Tree when out of business years ago but the hinge looks just like the Anderson. My doors have held up well and now I will try this adjustment now that I've move them into the new basement framing. Thanks!
Informative and simple! Thanks so much! This is one of the many reasons I will continue to buy your products!!!
This was sooooooo helpful. I had no idea that you could raise the door front the bottom of the hinge! Now my door no longer scrapes.
Perfect, just what I needed for a weekend project! Well done video.
Freaking awesome. My door needed the adjustment badley
One I’ve been living with sticking doors for over 10 yrs (that way when we bought the house). Then I noticed hinges with extra hardware one them. Easy peasy
when you adjust the door up or down , the cap on the bottom of the hinge has a 7/32 hex. no need to remove the cap, the 5/32 allen wrench will go through that hole to adjust door
OMG, thank for you this. Spend an hour looking for an elusive allen wrench for the cap
Wow, Thank you! Wish I knew that before
Well of course the adjustment I needed was the last one. But it worked. Thanks.
Important to ONLY loosen the position screws 1/2 turn. Loosen them too much and the gap will appear wider than it is. Tighten all positioning screws to check your progress.
Let’s goooooo! My wife is gonna think I’m a hero ! Thank you!
Nice video. No contractor I asked knew anything about my problem. I call this the "University of TH-cam"!
Awesome video. This helped so much and saved me a lot of time. Thanks.
works like a charm now!!
Amazing! Fixed our AW doors to our back yard!
Hi Central Valley Worker! We're glad we could help. If you need any further assistance with your door, you can give our customer care number a call at 888-888-7020. Enjoy!
Thank you. Very helpful. A cutaway diagram of the adjusting mechanism would be a welcome addition to better understand how it works.
Thank you it works perfect!now the door closes almost to easy
Moved into a house with doors from 1995. They are starting to sag. I thought the horizontal positioning screws were missing but it turns out they are just completely stripped. Any suggestions as they don’t sell these hinges anymore and the new ones would need to be retrofitted to the door?
One of those to do items I kept delaying. I wish I had watched this video five years ago!
Lol.. i wish youtube was active way back in 2005ish...
GREAT video! Thank you.
I fixed the scraping but now I have to get the lock to line up - thanks
Great video! Saved the day!
Which adjustment is most likely to help when the dead bolt doesn't fully extend?
you just saved me from a $250 house call from an Andersen dealer!!
I had my door for coming up on 20 years every summer by the time we get to the end of the summer the door is on a filter the left side of the door drags and it will not go shot I’ve made the adjustments I’ve had to watch this video every year for a refresher but why does it keep loosening up? Do I need to superglue these things in place once I get it adjusted?
Thanks, although it's a pain to have to do this every year. I wonder if doors from other manufacturers have the same problem?
My door began rubbing on the bottom, before I came on this web site I began adjusting to no avail.
After your explanation I got the door lined up and then raised it off the sill. It opens and closes without
any problem now.
EXCEPT? The hinges squeak terribly loud. I have tried turning the bottom screw clockwise and counterclockwise on each hinge but the squeak remains. What do you suggest I do to stop the noise?
Thank you Wendell
Hi, this is great.... How do I adjust the door left to right? I need to move the entire door... ? Thanks!
Did any one else notice "in" "out" are reversed in the stamping on the hinge in the video? I am assuming the voice over is providing the correct information... Could you clarify if the stamping on the door is incorrect, or if some years of doors had reverse threads?
Well.. that IS quite damn useful ! We have had problems with a certain door since we moved in to the house way back 17 years ago... The door has been removed and reset but never quite right.
I did this adjustment today as there was some rubbing on the weeping plate down on the sill.
Now, if they could use a more common wrench side such as 1/4 but never fear... my metric set provided a 4mm that fit the bill.
I stuck the wrench in the two holes and found that there are set screws in there, only not visible.
By following the procedure, I was finally able to get the door to close without rubbing against the aluminum sill/weather strip.
I still had to redo the work today, for a lesser problem: the lock was super hard to open and close... I had to make the top side of the door further from the wall. Solved again...
(01/2019) Another round of adjustment... now I opened one of mine to check some of the instructions and mine seems to be some sort of version 1.0 as the set screws turn counterclockwise to tighten the movable piece in place... The top of the door was "loose" and is what made me double check the guts of the hinge. Everything is (again) adjusted... but this time, I turned the set screws to tighten it in place.
N
But what is the function of the position screw vs horizontal screw??ANYONE??
worked!
Great!
COOL!
I have these doors and they constantly need to be adjusted up (the last adjustment in the video). Is there some way to lock the hinge height adjustments?
We have the same problem. 280 bucks for new hinges from them (except for white - we might buy white and paint them black and save 120 bucks). My husband is going to try something like locktight. Ours only lasts about 2 weeks after adjusting. They should warranty more than 10 years in our humble opinion.
How do I stop the inswing door from closing? It has been this way since it was installed, I unfortunately did not complain....
Same here. The installer didn't vertically (plum) level the door properly. Needs to be unscrewed on the top and bottom and made plum. This should stop it closing on it's own.
Start watching at 2:40. If you start from the beginning it’s confusing.
I need a replacement position fixing crew, but Andersen doesn't state the size ANYWHERE. They look to be 1/4-28 x 5/8" for my '92-'05 door. It looks like Andersen does not use metric, but if it did, then it would be a M7-1.0 x 16mm. Does anyone know for sure though? THANKS!
It's probably a long shot, but did you have any luck on finding the position fixing screw? I just moved into a new house and realized that the top hinge is missing both of them and I cannot find the dimensions anywhere online.
@@kylh1204 yes I did. www.ebay.com/itm/ANDERSEN-PATIO-DOOR-92-05-REPLACEMENT-POSITION-FIXING-SCREW-Stainless-Steel/264272409323?hash=item3d87dcf2eb:g:Iz0AAOSwPHZcqSm3
@@frozenrope2822 thank you so much!
Kyle Harris you bet! Good luck!
Anyone know what size these are? The eBay link doesn’t work anymore and mine are completely missing
i have a door bought in 2017 NO ADJUSTMENTS!
Awesome video, awesome mansion has 3 of these P.O.S. doors. I became religious and grateful to find this video, I almost forked out 5k to replace them.
too bad I had to look this up myself while my husband wasted unproductive hours in the heat and let in nasty bugs whilst GUESSING.
So glad to find this video but the video is very over engineered. It contradicts itself many times.
Screws can be obtained here: www.ebay.com/itm/ANDERSEN-PATIO-DOOR-92-05-REPLACEMENT-POSITION-FIXING-SCREW-Stainless-Steel/264272409323?hash=item3d87dcf2eb:g:Iz0AAOSwPHZcqSm3
You folks are glossing over a complicated process,. So, what is adjust screws do not move? I suggest you to pick one process and fully walk through it.
You should go to woodprix website if you'd like to make it yourself m8s.
Loose the music totally distracting, unnecessary and makes it harder to listen to instructions. Thanks
Everything in this video seems to work exactly opposite of how my door adjustments work. I’m getting a professional in who knows what he’s doing. This video is worthless.
Andersen doors and baldwin hardware are so over rated. They always need adjustments, why not just use good standard hardware that don't need all this bs. Parts are hard to get, overpriced and when you try to get warranty help it's a joke.
I started with Woodglut plans.
