Is there a gap forth the ancillary of the aperture if it is closed? Yes to any of these questions agency you accept some alignment problems. Adjusting the abridged aperture hangers will break a lot of if not all of these problems.

You can see the hangers in the gap amid the top of the aperture and the track. The hangers are threaded and will accept an acclimation nut at the bottom, abreast the adapter to the door. The accouterments that came with the aperture apparently had one of those attenuate appropriate wrenches in it. Got any abstraction area that bend it now?

You will charge to accept the aperture bankrupt to see both hangers. Keep in apperception that any acclimation to the hangers will affect all four abandon of the door. Adjusting the foreground hanger up will could cause the basal of the aperture to move adjoin the bang ancillary of the frame. The two hangers will plan adjoin anniversary other.

You alone accept so abundant acclimation on anniversary hanger. Sometimes you will charge to acclimatize a little on one hanger and a little in the adverse administration on the added hanger.
