ok guys. Its my first post on here (only just found this place!) but not my first UPVC window or door fitting (but Im not in the trade or wouldnt be asking this question!!)
ok. Ive fitted a few single panel UPVC doors and got the toe and heeling down great now.
But this is the first twin panel door Ive done and its really starting to annoy me!
Can I ask:
Should I toe and heel the lower panel, bead it up and then do the top one?
This door is seriously the most tightly fitting door (into the frame) ever! The slightest tiniest movement of a spacer and it will catch.
The lower pane doesnt seem to adjust door lift that much (lower Centre of Gravity I guess) but still I have tried almost everything to get this door to close perfect and it still catches a sliver of material on closing.
note/ I didnt fit the door and was asked if I could sort their door out as it had door drop (for family member)
I have jacked it to the hilt and even gone past the fulcrum point so the door was (I think) too high because I then removed a spacer or two and the door opened much better again
Any help or advice from an expert would be gratefully appreciated!
The door is a standard UPVC door with the three hinges on one side that have plastic caps in the top of them (most Ive bought have been like this)
Can these hinges be adjusted to move the door away from the catch side of the frame??.... even 1mm would fix it!
THANKS
