Follow these instructions <br />if screw holes become stripped and/or if hardware no longer functions <br />properly due to misalignment. <br />Screw Hole Repair (in wood only) <br />1. Cut wooden toothpicks or appropriate sized wood dowel to fit screw <br />hole just below wood surface. <br />2. Fill screw hole with wood glue. <br />3. Insert toothpicks or dowel and let dry. <br />4. Fill to surface with wood putty and let dry. <br />5. Sand smooth and refinish and let dry. <br />6. Drill the new pilot hole. <br />Hardware Alignment (in wood only) <br />Misalignment can happen if screws have become stripped and cannot be <br />tightened. This alignment will create new screw holes. <br />1. Remove hardware. <br />2. Repair screw holes according to the procedure above. <br />3. Mark new screw holes as follows: <br />• Lay hardware in position and hold in place. <br />• Mark new screw locations through screw holes. <br />• Remove hardware and set aside. <br />4. Drill pilot holes with 1/16" drill bit at new marked screw hole <br />positions no deeper than screw length. <br />5. Install hardware. <br />6. Test operation; if not operating properly, call us for assistance. <br />Hinge Replacement and Adjustment <br />Replacement <br />1. Remove slab. <br />2. Remove hinge plates from slab. <br />3. Repair screw holes as instructed above if stripped. <br />4. Install new hinge plates in the same locations. <br />5. Reinstall slab. <br />Adjustment (Spring Hinges Only) <br />1. Close door. <br />2. Insert the provided hex <br />wrench so that it can be <br />rotated clockwise. <br />3. Rotate hex wrench <br />1/4 turn and insert <br />tension pin loosely into <br />tension hole. <br />4. Remove hex wrench and <br />try closing force. <br />5. Repeat steps until closing <br />force is adequate but do not rotate past 3 holes on 180o openings or <br />4 holes on 90o openings. <br />Blinds Between the glass <br />For easiest operation, keep the slats in a fully open position <br />while operating. <br />Adjustments <br />1. If the operator comes off of the track, hold the operator at a sharp <br />angle to the glass and reinsert the two legs under the track opening. <br />2. Re-couple the operator magnets. <br />Re-couple Operator Magnets <br />1. Slide the operator past the half-way engagement point until the <br />first click. <br />2. Full travel blinds will fully engage when you hear the first click. Half <br />travel (those units with a single side operation) will require you to <br />continue moving the operator up until you hear the second click. This <br />will ensure the magnets are fully engaged. <br />MEcHANISM REplAcEMENT <br />Raise and lower Mechanism <br />1. Place a piece of cardboard between the slide mechanism and the <br />glass to help release the magnets. <br />2. Tilt the mechanism toward you, and remove the mechanism. It may <br />require a strong tug to break the magnetic bond. <br />3. Before replacing the new slide mechanism, ensure the glass is clean. <br />4. Insert the tabs underneath the lip of the inner frame and raise the <br />slide to the top until the magnets engage. <br />a. Full travel blinds will fully engage when you hear the first click. <br />b. Half travel (those units with a single side operation) will require <br />you to continue the travel of the operator up until you hear the <br />second click. This will ensure the magnets are fully engaged. <br />5. Check for proper operation. Remove and reinstall if necessary. <br />Tilt Mechanism <br />1. Move the top helix to the left side. Moving the slider magnet on the <br />outside of the glass can do this. The helix tilt operator has a magnet <br />set which will follow the magnet inside the slide mechanism. <br />2. Clean the glass attaching area. <br />3. Peel off the tape on the back of the slider. <br />4. Before application, push the magnet to the left of the slider. Ensure <br />the slider is facing the right direction (there is a long horizontal gap at <br />the top that allows the magnet housing to slide along the base). <br />5. Let the magnet be attracted to the left side of the magnet, which is <br />inside the glass. Make sure the slide is horizontal. <br />6. Push the slide against the glass firmly on the tape area, as the <br />adhesive works under pressure. <br />Threshold adjustment (adjustable thresholds only) <br />Note! Adjusting the threshold may break sealant joints at the <br />ends and/or interfere with the foam wedges if installed. Adjust <br />threshold, then replace these components as necessary. See <br />“Foam Wedges” in the Weatherstrip Replacement section below <br />for details. <br />Adjustable thresholds will have <br />adjustment screw covers or exposed <br />screws on the top where the <br />door slab contacts the threshold <br />when closed. Verify the sweep <br />properly contacts the threshold <br />with 1/8" compression as shown. <br />If adjustment is needed, use a flat <br />head screwdriver to remove screw <br />covers. Turn all screws clockwise <br />to adjust up; counterclockwise to <br />move down until desired height is <br />achieved and the threshold is level. <br />Tension <br />pin <br />Tension <br />hole <br />Clockwise <br />Threshold <br />Door panel Sweep <br />Threshold
