Which action should you take to loosen pressure and close the door faster?

• A. Turn sweep screw clockwise to tighten
• B. Remove the door
• C. Turn sweep screw counter clockwise to loosen pressure and close door faster
• D. Sand the door

Answer: (C)

Loosening the pressure on the door sweep reduces the friction the door encounters as it moves, so the door can travel to the closed position more quickly. The sweep screw adjusts how tightly the door seal presses against the frame; turning it counterclockwise loosens that pressure, letting the door move and latch faster. Turning it clockwise would tighten the seal and increase drag, slowing or preventing closure. Removing the door or sanding it doesn’t address the mechanism and can cause damage or safety issues.
