Well as you can see from the photo, I can slide the rail ticket in between the glass and beading, the ticket will insert upto 2cm.

Yeah, I had a feeling you actually mean that

Rail ticket and yeah, I can slide it from the indoor side, in between the plastic beading and the glass panel, there’s a little bit of force but very little and when I try and do this on other double glazed windows, the card bends/folds instantly. So, would the glass being the wrong thickness...

It’s a card ticket, slid between the glass panel and the beading, using very little force, although there’s some resistance but I can’t do it with glossy paper leaflet.

Ok, thanks, I’m hoping to get my own independent survey to submit to the HA but thanks for the advice and recommendation

Well, the gazing panel of the French doors feels secure, with no movement when the panel is pushed, although I can slide a railway ticket in between the beading and glazing panel but I can’t do that on any of my other double glazed windows, although I’ve just discovered another issue in bedroom...

What can a service engineer provide ? Also, rather I provide my location on here, which I prefer not to, is a window and door doctor, actually a double glazing repair business ?

I’m not offended and I appreciate your time, opinion and response and I also the response of everyone who has contributed to my post. I have no intention of paying to have new French Doors fitted myself. My intention is to gather as much the information as possible to use it as ammunition to...

Although I appreciate your response and opinion but Please don’t advise on how to address I’ve had local MP and Housing Ombudsman already involved and regarding an unrelated issue but still concerning the HA and a repair, despite the local Councillor and an MPs involvement, a letter to No 10, as...

Tenants can’t phone Housing Association every day to complaint, as we only get through to a call centre, that takes the complaint to be passed to relevant dept. If anything is said during the telephone call which the call handler dislikes, your telephone call is terminated.

I don’t know whether I got the FENSA £5 test in writing, it was mentioned by the surveyor who carried out the survey who got the previous French doors replaced.

As said, this has been an on going issue for many years, one of many. The Housing Ombudsman, local MP and letters to No 10 been involved regarding another issues, and still taken 2 years before the issue was addressed, so please don’t be thinking I’m incapable of addressing this.

https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/how-to-adjust-compression-on-this-upvc-french-door-hinge.617422/#post-5574992 Apparently, according to responses on here, no compression adjustment on hinges. Every uPVC French Door unit fitted, has been a uPVC frame complete with uPVC doors already attached...

I appreciate your response, however within months of doors being fitted, there was a noticeable draught, far worse than the previous doors and after various inspections, the HA finally accepted the doors were too short for the frame. The current doors were taped up within days of installation...

Until I’ve recently re-taped up the doors due to the exception coldness, especially throughout winter and so looking more presentable now; How they’re were depicted in the photos, I kept them looking like that for the Housing Association to inspect them; to see how poorly they’ve been fitted...
