Hi,

can any one help with advise on the best way to anchor door post to concrete sill. At the moment it moves forward gradually every time door is closed and, i have to knock back inline with mallet on other side. As you can see, frame is currently out of line by half inch but lines up by the time it reaches door Yale lock.

The frame should be fixed to the wall. Look for the screws. Probably about three each side. Are they loose? Is the house older than the use of plastic plugs and frame fixings?
 
hi john,
Yes, glazed panel is fixed to wall with no movement, its just at this point were frame meets sill which is not fixed. Here is a picture showing the full panel:

Consider fixing a timber block to the inside of the panel, and then screwing the block downwards onto the concrete.
