Composite Door Adjustment

[MartinRa]

Afternoon all.

I've fitted a replacement front door and I don't think the adjustment is quite right. It came pre-hung so as yet I've made no adjustments. Frame is true and plum.

Standing on the inside, the door leaf does not meet the seal correctly at the top but does at the bottom. Is this something that can be rectified by hinge adjustment. I specced '3D Trojan hinges' when i ordered it.

Thanks crank. I've already looked at that, and it would seem that despite speccing the 3d trojan hinges, I haven't been given them. Pic attached.

did you get to the bottom of your issue? I have exactly the same problem with my door (and the same hinges) i've tried adjusting the small screw in the centre with an allen key but it makes no difference...

flick off the cover caps above and below the central alllen key there should be adjustment screws under there

I noticed that my Solidor has adjustable keeps along with the hinges. I might be worth looking to see if you can adjust the keeps a little. When the locking points are engaged, the door should pull into the frame a little tighter if adjusted correctly. I did this and it worked great.
