Recently had new French doors fitted. Was previously a tilt and slide. Had pvc put in. French doors with side panels. It looks so much better and modern. However the guys installing had a nightmare as the opening was wonky. But it looks brilliant and you wouldn't tell it wasn't straight forward
However the door seems to me to require a bit of strength to lock and unlock as in pulling the handle fully up and fully down. The kids can't do it. That maybe a bonus haha I have however worked out if I pull at the same time it seems easier. I've greased the locking pins that come out up but it's no better. I noticed from the outside until the handle is pulled all the way up the door at the top sticks out a little. If I push and pull the handle it goes up. Is their anything I could do to make this easier. I've heard hinges can be adjusted using an Alan key to align the doors better? Its something I can put up with but annoying when they're new
