How do you adjust a spring loaded hinge on a door?

0

Most spring loaded hinges for entry doors are set at the factory. They are installed based on the weight of the door, desired rate of closure, etc. If your door is not closing fast enough, then one of the springs is probably broken and will require replacing the hinge. If it’s closing to fast, best bet is to replace the hinges with “lighter” units. Some custom hinges and most exterior gate spring loaded hinges have a “roll pin” adjustment to increase or decrease tension. Youll need an adjustment tool, usually a drift pin, to move the roll pin assembly one way or the other to adjust tension.
