Hi,
I've seen this question posted already, but my problem seems to differ slightly.

I have a UPVC door (with pencil hinges I believe, four of them) and there is a gap of approx. 3mm in the middle of the door, letting in a draught, when the handle is pulled up. The top and bottom of the door has a nice tight seal.

Can anyone advise how/if the door can be adjusted in order to pull the middle of the door closer to the frame?

Many thanks.

im assuming the gap is on the lock side, if this is wrong let me know and ill let you know what to do to the hinges. the centre keep(on the outer frame, not sash) will either have 2 phillips screws to adjust or concentric screws. if its phillips screws, loosen both(do not take them right out, you may lose nut at back) and move latch part towards outside of door and then tighten screws, you may have to do this a couple of times until you get rid of the gap and door still to latch when closed. if concentric screws then turn them either way and youll see latch part move in or out, adjust as above and that should do it
