Crank39 did mention earlier in this thread that the brush pile isn't the only gasket , there is a gasket on the outer rebate of the door frame, if the door is adjusted for compression correctly , and the door handle is pulled up every time to engage the locks, thus fully compressing the door on...

Which gearbox is it? I had issues with a new gearbox a while back on a customers door where it had been squashed ( somehow ) , just enough to stop the mechanism from working correctly. The internals of most gearboxes are actually fairly rudimentary, and the cam on the cylinder literally pushes...

It could be your door sash is warped. Might be worth trying to adjust where the door lock catches on the frame keeps.

Is there a gap.when you fully engage thr door lock , this getting compression , if so possibly bigge gasket

Sounds more likely to be a cylinder barrel issue if the key just turns

Should be ,yes

Either removing the gutter or the internal plastic moulding will make access easier

As you suggest looks like far too much water getting throught the seals Silly question.... is the door at full compression? , locking mechanism not engaged so full compression isn't achieved or door hasn't been adjusted on the door keeps enough to achieve full compression

You may have water being blown up under the roof sheet where it sits on the ' Ringbeam.' It is potentially then running down behind the plastic moulding ( the bit above your red line) ,which is clipped in using a rubber mallet . The roof sheet will be sat on a plastic upstand , usually with...

The fogging on the outside is perfectly normal.and a by product of modern double glazing, usually its more pronounced in Autum and spring. Id be more concerned the others aren't ' fogging ' . Here's link and explanation by Pilkingtons...

@crank39 is your man to potentially identify those. He's seen just about all of them They may not be manufactured anymore though , so if Crank says that then maybe a trip to a double glazing place to see if they have any old beads from old frames in the skip or awaiting collection for recycling

This Smooth side inside as a general rule on patterned units. There is one exception , and thats when you have decorative glass on the clear/smooth pane and a patterned second pane, then the decorative pane will always be the outside pane

Hopefully the holes you've drilled are into the outer chamber only. The other reason you can get water coming up the beads internally is a build up of pressure within the frame . This is much more prevalent on very wet and windy days though

Jeez that sounds like an advert and a half! Hopefully the moderators will see this!

And a good window/ doors fitter would put in more screws in the vertical! If we fitted with only 3 screws in the vertical we would fail an Inspection , at least five in the vertical is the accepted industry amount unless its a really short door, and there should always be screws within 250mm...

Id say looking at those pictures no it doesn't That joint can indeed be sealed , it would normally be welded, very unusual for it to be damaged ( if it actually is) , and the point about being overwhelmed is very very valid especially if it is leaking on very windy days , as the drainage would...

Oh totally agree about the potential sealing of the gap between cill and bottom of door when its base drainage...see it all the time especially from Handyman/Odd job type people who think they know where the leaks coming through and its a nice quick fix lol.

The drainage holes only use the outer ' chamber ' of the pvc thus preventing water running in else where . The drainage will either be face drain or base drain, I am unsure as to which you have . If gave drainage , check under the door is sealed correctly. If base drainage then there is a...

In theory the gasket should cover the corner so no water can get in there. It is possible the door isn't getting enough compression against the gasket when closed , allowing water to get past. Is the Door lock always engaged by pulling up the handle ? As full compression isn't achieved until...

That distinctly looks like laminate flooring the same side as the.drainage holes? If so then first biggest issue is that the drainage is draining into the building and the door has been fitted the wrong way round. If the blue circle is on the outside , at least some of the water is leaving...
