      If the door on your Vulcan-Hart Furnace is too loose or too tight, you can adjust the force or drag on the door movement by adjusting the hex screws. These are located on the upper rear corners of the furnace cabinet. Make sure to adjust both sides equally. Turning the screw clockwise adds drag and requires more force to move the door.
