The last two steps in installing an Anthony International door is to ensure a frictionless access by adjusting the tension and sag:
- Step 6. Adjust the door tension – You can adjust the door tension by turning the screw on the TorqueMaster™ with a flathead screwdriver. Increase the door tension by turning the front screw counterclockwise and counterclockwise to decrease on a right-handed door. If you have a left-handed door, reverse directions to increase or decrease the tension. You’ll know the door is correctly adjusted when it closes automatically.
- Note: Do not overtighten the adjustment screw because this could damage the gasket.
- Step 7. Adjust the door sag – If the door is not sitting squarely on its hinges, you might have to adjust the inward-facing screw on your TorqueMaster™. With a flathead screwdriver, rotate the screw clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower on a right-handed door. If you have a left-handed door, reverse directions to raise or lower until it’s level.
