Hi,
I installed a new UPVC door in January - the frame is attached to wood which is inset into the surrounding brickwork.
The problem is that now the warmer weather has come, the wood has expanded a little and the door is sticking slightly when shutting. Unfortunately I have 'misplaced' the instruction sheet that came with the door and I can't recall which of the hinges need adjusting to get the door to sit back in-line.
There are 3 hinges, each with 2 allen bolts (one on top of the hinge, and one on the side of the hinge. The door is sticking near the top of the vertical side that has the handle (i.e. not the hinge side). It is hard to explain, but it would seem that the top of the door has 'tilted' forward, rather than the door warping.............so, I need to 'pull' the top of the door back towards the hinge.
Does anyone know which hinge/s I need to adjust and what direction I should be turning the allen bolts in each case - clockwise or anti-clockwise?
Many thanks
Gary
