Hi all
Brought a made to measure composite door from Global Doors a few months ago and am having a lot of problems with it.
It's at this time that I wished I paid for a professional install rather than DIY
What's happening is the bottom of the door is sticking badly, where the weather seal is, to the point it's ripped the rubber off 1/2 of it.
The door is fitted square, there is an equal gap all around the sides and top (between door and door frame).
Today I took the door off and put a concrete lintel underneath it to replace the bricks, making 100% sure it is level. I've wedged/packed the frame in place and again it's got a completely even gap around 3 sides, the left-hand side of the bottom is around a 5 mm gap between the door and the threshold, the right-hand is touching it.
Makes no sense to me, if there was uneven gaps around the sides and top then yes, it's not aligned properly, but apart from the bottom, everything is even.
So I've been thinking, the easiest thing to do would be to take the weather seal off the bottom of the door and plain a bit off the right hand side until there is an even gap all around.
Does this sound like a feasible/good idea please?
Thanks
