Properly aligning window frames is an essential step in installing new doors to ensure smooth and quiet operation. Misaligned frames can cause the window to drag crooked, sash restoration hang on the frame, or even get clogged. Fortunately, aligning window frames is a relatively simple process that demands some patience and attention to detail.

First, start by extracting the window from the frame and checking the hinges. Check if the screws are rusted, bent, or broken, which can make alignment more challenging. Clean the hinges and surrounding areas to ensure a smooth operation.

Next, remove any existing hinge screws to achieve access to the pins. Use a screw extractor to avoid damaging the hinges. If the screws are loose, consider replacing them with new ones.

To fix the units, place the window back in its frame and use a level to ensure it's properly aligned. Make sure the window is centered before proceeding. You can use shims or small supports to secure the window temporarily.

Now, use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the frames on the window structure. Transfer this datum to the hinges on the window itself, making sure they're evenly spaced. Use a aligner to ensure the units are square to the window and the frame.

To check the alignment, gently test the window's placement by opening and closing it. If the window functions smoothly and uniformly, the hinges are properly installed. If not, adjust the frames by loosening the pins and redirecting them as needed.

Some additional tips to keep in mind:

• When aligning multiple units, start with the center hinge and work your way outwards to ensure uniform spacing.
  
• Use a drill to help guide the units into the correct placement.
  
• Consider using upgraded bolts or screw extractors to ensure the hinges stay stably in place.
  
• Don't overtighten the pins, as this can cause the units to constrict and limit the window's movement.
