EZ-Shim™ HS450BP Quick Align Hinge Shim for 4.5" Door Hinges, 15-Count

EZ-Shim™ HS450BP Quick Align Hinge Shim for 4.5" residential, commerical, interior and exterior door hinges. In the past, if a steel door needed a minor adjustment, a hammer was used to whack or bend the door hinge. Hinge Shim by EZ-Shim™ offers a much cleaner and more effective solution to this problem. Quite often, a piece of cardboard (or worse) is used behind the hinge when installing a door or correcting an out of alignment jamb. However, cardstock and cardboard compress, which causes doors to migrate, sag and bind in the jamb. Hinge Shim helps prevent future problems such as the need to plane the door and costly refinishing work.

• 15 Count
• Quick align hinge shims for 4.5" hinges
• Realign door in the jamb without having to take door off its hinges
• Each shim adjusts door approximately 1/16"
• Carded blister pack.
• A common problem is a door which is not straight in the jamb resulting in binding, sticking, rubbing, etc. We recommend the use of Quick Align Hinge Shims to align the door in the jamb and possibly avoid refinishing the door.
• First, examine the door's uneven gap. It is usually tight, or rubbing at the top and has a wider gap at the bottom. Often, this is due to the door hinge screws only penetrating or anchoring in the thin millwork of the jamb, rather than the more substantial 2x4 stud in the wall.
• Over time, the millwork (jamb) bends, due to the door's weight and the door becomes out of alignment with the jamb. To correct this misalignment, you will need to shim the hinge opposite the wide gap
• One single QAHS shim moves the door 1/16" Or Fold entire sheet of three into a 'Z' shape to correct larger gaps
• Open the door to access door hinge screws. Remove top and bottom screws
• Set aside the two loose screws
• Loosen center screw 1-1/2 turns. This keeps the door in place while allowing space behind the hinge
• Now, swing the door towards the closed position and you'll have more room to insert the shim
• Slide the desired thickness of shim(s) between the jamb and hinge leaf
• Swing door open again for better access to the screws. Tighten center screw, then reinstall top and bottom screws
• Completed door alignment.
