Adjustment of windows and doors
Windows
Top swing reversible | side guided |side
hung
There is no actual adjustment device on top
swing reversible windows. Therefore, they
must be installed very carefully to ensure a
suitable clearance for the ironmongery in the
hinge sliders and guides.
Top guided | Top hung
On top guided windows and top hung win-
dows, friction can be adjusted by adjusting
the bolt in the hinge slider on the hinge. To
ensure optimum functionality, it is impor-
tant that friction is adjusted equally on both
sides.
Side hung
The hinges can be adjusted using a hinge ad-
justment tool if the sash sags a little.
Doors
There are no actual adjustment devices on
doors. However, it is possible to adjust the
hinges with a hinge adjustment tool in or-
der to regulate the space between the frame
and sash if the door sags upon installation.
The door can also be adjusted so it presses
harder on the weatherstrip in the closing
side by adjusting the tongue of the striking
plate with a screwdriver.
Tilt | turn sashes
Idealcombi delivers the element with the fit-
ting in neutral position, but it may be
necessary to precision-adjust the element
after mounting. The fitting has been desig-
ned to allow adjustment of the sash in every
direction. The bottom hinge is 3-way adju-
stable, i.e. the height, width and weather
strip pressure can be adjusted.
Width and weather strip pressure are adju-
stable using the top gear on the top of the
sash. By using the bottom hinge and top
gear width adjustments, the sash can be
raised/lowered diagonally. Furthermore, the
weather strip pressure can be adjusted by
turning the closing rollers next to each strike
plate. The fitting is adjusted using a 4 mm
Allen key and a Torx bit 15. For further infor-
mation, please contact Idealcombi’s Techni-
cal Department on tel. (0) 1582 860 940.
Separation of frame and sash (tilt|turn)
Open the sash in side-hung position to ap-
prox. 60°, lift the dowel on the top gear
slightly, turn it 90° counter-clockwise and
lift it out of the sash fitting.
Then release the maloperation lock by
pushing the small fitting on the sash edge
next to the handle, and move the handle up-
wards into tilt position. Now tilt the top gear
free and push the small button at the end
of the red connecting rod to lift the top gear
free. Then lift the sash out of the bottom
hinge and remove it from the frame
