Hi,
I seem to have an issue with my uPVC French Door dropping slightly which results in the inside of the ‘problem’ door catching on the other door when closing it. We need to lift the door up to close it fully.
The issue looks as though it may be the top hinge (4 butt hinges in total). I have checked the adjustment screws and the door is as close to the frame as possible. It seems to be where the screws fix the hinge to the door as there is a small gap.
To get to these screws, it seems that you need to remove the door from the hinge. I have managed to move the cap, grub screw and there is a pin that needs to come out from the top. However, it does not seem to come out as easily as it should. I have tried tapping it from the bottom with a hammer/screwdriver and it comes out about 0.5cm, also trying to leverage it out from the top with a screwdriver but it requires a lot of forces which is starting to damage the head of the pin.
Are there any other tips for resolving this issue?
Thanks,
Anthony
