Steel Door Frame Adjustment - Please See Image

[thekmanrocks]

Most industrial/institutional steel frame doors have a screw in the frame at about the height of that man adjusting it.

Problem is, there is NO explanation, ANYWHERE on line, of what turning those screws clockwise or counter-clockwise does to the steel frame! Will turning the screw clockwise push the frame away from the rough opening, or pull it toward it?

Thanks for any/all replies.

IMO. CW will push out the frame according to my common sense.

I was about to write that, but you got there first. Very good, sir.

Or, here's a thought directed to the OP: Turn it and see what happens. Then write back and let us know which way the frame moves when you turn the adjusting screw clockwise.

Uh, a level will tell you in about three seconds. You would be done by now.

I am no expert, but I don't think turning the screw moves it in or out. I think it just tightens it or loosens it from what the door frame is attached to.
