What do the Hinge Tweaker tools do?
Provides an easy one step process to eliminate sticking, rubbing, jamming or scratched paint on doors
The Hinge Tweaker’s are engineered to solve reoccurring door problems such as sagging, sticking or doors out of alignment. The Hinge Tweaker’s allows for a one step process that can repair all of these problems so your doors can operate smoothly again. The Hinge Tweaker tools do just what the name states: it tweaks the hinge by re-bending, which corrects the alignment of the door. In the door and hardware industry this re-bending technique is called, “closing the swedging of a hinge” or “closing the gap”. Once you re-bend the hinge the door realigns immediately.
