Rib neck carriage bolt?

Ok I just installed the green hinges and I like them. Not a cure-all... but they allow some margin when adjusting track position. Previously if you wanted a tight fit between the door and jamb there was a fine line between "floppy" and "binding". Plus non-linear surfaces might not match the track. With the spring hinges the door has enough pressure against wind but not enough to cause binding. They automatically adjust to high/low spots.

The top rollers still need to be adjusted to find the best trade off between a good seal and no binding. I wish they had spring loaded top rollers.

I'm also going to replace the weatherstrip on all 4 edges. The big offender is the double door top which has warped enough the weather seal will have to be reformed to match the curve.
