Hello!

Today I installed the 153 hinge for the first time and don't understand how I can adjust the door height. In the assembly instructions, the steps for height and lateral adjustment are identical, but for me, only the latter happens. Or do I need to apply more force here?

Open the door about 80°, and you will reach the screw for the lateral adjustment; at about 60°, you will reach the one for the height adjustment.

Oh, I didn't see that 3rd screw - you mean the one that's deeper than the other two? If yes, it's rock solid and doesn't budge. But I can only reach it right now with a small flathead screwdriver because the one with a bit attachment doesn't fit. I guess I'll have to go to the hardware store.

The screw is on the mounting plate, so you can reach it directly when you unclip the hinge. Buy a PZ2, you always need that.

Thank you. And yes, it's been on the list for a long time. I have the bits, but for narrow tight spaces it always gets tight with these magnetic bit holders (fronts on Maximera just about work *cough*).
