Warner,
Yeah I'm looking for a little better hinge for this operation. The other problem I'm running into is that the brick moulding on these installs are all wacked. Look at all the margins around the doors. I build the doors flat and square but sometimes I'm putting to screen doors in opening not square, straight, or at times in the same plain.
I'm looking for a hinge kind of like Anderson's exterior door hinge. It has adjustability in three plains, sort of like a euro cup hinge. If I could mortise in a hinge out of sight but still have the ability to move the door inside of the opening without changing the placement of the hinge I would be golden.
The current operation is to mount the hinge to the door square to the top and bottom, place the door into the opening with shims to center and make clearances, then screw the hinges to the brick moulding. At times I have had to move hinges around to make up the clearances.
Thanks for pointing out your observations, it helps to see through other perspectives at time. I look at margins when I look at doors first and listen to how they shut second.
