Hey all,
We are getting quite a draught coming between the door and frame on our UPVC front door, it's on the hinge side and I've popped the covers off to have a look at it.
There are hex screws to adjust the door left to right and back / forth (closer/further from the frame).
I've wound up the screws as much as they will go to push the door closer to the frame, but there is still a cold draught coming through.. after a closer look it appears there are what look like two spacer plates between the frame and hinge on each one (there are 3 hinges)
I'm thinking I can remove one of these plates from each hinge which will bring the door closer to the frame and hopefully create a nice seal.. but I can't figure out how the hinges come away from the frame.
The red arrow in the image below shows what I'm trying to remove.
I figured that there would be screws that would be accessible when the door was remove (not sure how that comes off either though!) - but I've looked at the hinge with the door open and can't see any screw heads in the area where the blue arrow is..
Anyone know how these things come off ??
