I posted photo of hinges on the other thread: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/how-to-adjust-compression-on-this-upvc-french-door-hinge.617422/

Thanks

Ronniecabers.... Hey, I'm no expert in this. I'm only relaying the reasons I was told and why they were replaced, there's no need to reply with such a comment .... could you have just said, you must be mistaken. After many inspections, one from a FENSA surveyor, two separated inspections by...

Yeah, I'm in England and Its something to do with Building Regs that came in, in 2002 and with my flat being Housing Association Property, they have to comply. My original single glazed wood french doors got replaced with Identical single glazed wood French Doors & during some kind of...

Yeah, can't actually lock door with key unless the handle is turned up to engage the locking cams or whatever they're called. French doors been bane of my life, this is the 5th pair, sick of complaining, every time poorly installed and don't seal. The original non double glazed wooden door...

Again, as subject title says, I have gaps all around uPVC French Doors and Housing Ass workmen claim they make adjustments, but makes no difference, as just pretend to adjust. It's absolutely freezing, feel draught all around doors which are relative new, all new windows and doors fitted...

Typical, only a Housing Association would fit French Doors with hinges that can't be adjusted. Doors on 2nd floor and in living room. Gaps all around, on inner and outer seals and with doors closed and locked, I can slide a letter up and down the seals on either side. I can even post a...

As the subject title; can and how is compression adjusted on this type of uPVC French door hinge ?

Update...... I took extension cable/socket enclosure apart, and the arcing was caused by the one socket. With the socket I used solely for the electric heater; there's a hairline crack in the plastic enclosure from Live to Earth, which during normal use, it was totally un-noticeable, especially...

May well be but I believe the blackening and charring is a result of the recent arcing incident rather than a build up over the years. I tend to plug and unplug the heater quite often and I've never noticed charring to the plug before. The ext lead with be rendered useless and binned and to...

Yeah, trip switch at consumer unit tripped sockets and fuse of ext lead blew but not before the almighty bang, lightening type flash; which was very much like the flash emitted from arc welding. The flash, bang, I assume came from the plug I was holding and the ext lead socket, the noise was...

For a good few years I have used an upright electric heater in living room plugged into a 6 way extension lead. The heater and also an electric fan are plugged into the extention lead all the time, at either end of the ext lead socket line, so theres 4 outlets in between, which are only ever...

Thanks again for another very thorough reply. I’ve got the gist of what’s need now, Thanks.

Thanks again for all the advice and suggestions. Controlling my Fathers heating through a smartphone, I don’t think it’ll be practical but thanks for the suggestion; also, my Fathers house doesn’t have a WIFi broadband connection. Also, these wireless TRVs, I assume they can’t be locked to a...

Although I’m no longer a fan of smartphone apps; I assume a WiFi connection is required for the smartphone wireless thermostat but is a WiFi connection also required for a wireless room stat to communicate with the boiler? Also, I knew wireless room stat can be affixed to the wall; another post...

Thanks for all the additional advice and recommendations. Wireless TRVs on the radiators linked to room stat & boiler sounds good, although a mobile App won’t be suitable for my Father, he still can’t get to grips with the Tv remote, he also has Dementia; also, I’m mistrusting of apps myself...

Flameport..... Thanks for your very thorough reply. Yeah, I knew the TRVs are mechanical and not physical connected to the boiler; they all appear to operate correctly but when turned to heat setting 2, this turns the radiators off completely; and it’s the radiator in my Fathers bathroom which...
