Hi, Just to update on this old post. I did end up calling someone out. He increased the compression on the hinge side as he said there was a gap, probably due to me playing around with it. He also adjusted the strike plates although now there is slight resistance when you lift the handle to...

Sorry, I am still having a great deal of trouble with this door. The drafts are still there despite my attempts to adjust it. The strike plate at the bottom has been moved fully to the left ie towards outside. The cams are turned to point towards the inside of the house. There now also...

Ah that is good to know thank you. There was a slot for me to fit in the new seals. This is the one I bought. https://www.toolstation.com/stormguard-upvc-universal-seal/p57199?store=N8&gPromoCode=TS_Club_15072024&gStoreCode=N8&gQT=1 I think with the door, an issue is that it is not straight...

Thanks for the help. A few more questions - We're still getting drafts in the bottom right corner - I have started to replace the seals on the door frame and door starting with the right hand side & bottom of the door frame. That hasn't yet made a different to the drafts. Here are pics...

Have turned the bottom Allen key socket clockwise as much as possible. I would assume that is turned towards the right /lock side now I've done the same for both lower hinges The door is now tighter at the bottom, hurrah There is still a slight draft from that bottom right corner but I'm...

Thanks for the pics - really helpful. Both cams have been turned to face the seal. I think the problem was that, the bottom frame keep screws were loose (the middle and top ones were fine) . I played around with them to find out which screw positions would work. In doing so, first the door...

What I mean is, I am able to place my finger underneath the bottom right corner of the door and pull the door forward a centimetre or so. Also, if I pull/shake the door towards me, it is clear that the bottom of the door moves or shakes slightly. This would suggest that the door is not tight...

So, I took a look at our garden door which is the exact same brand. The bottom lock side corner is also not aligned with the frame, but there aren't draughts there. Also, the bottom part of the door does not lift unlike our front door. So, to me that seems to be the issue - why does the bottom...

An update - After adjusting sideways, height and compression I think the bottom corner of the door is slightly more tight. However I can still feel a draught in that corner, and the bottom half of the door is still not as tight as the top half. I wonder if the rubber seals could be the issue...

This is very useful, thank you. Will give it a go tomorrow

Hi, All corners, except the bottom right, of our front uPVC door are aligned with the door frame (pic 3). The bottom right corner is also where noticeable draughts are coming through. Underneath the 4 hinges on the door are two Allen key sockets (pic 1). There are none on top. One seems to be...
