Compression adjustment not working on flag hinge upvc door

Hi,

As in post #2 of the other thread, if the adjusters are stuck when loaded, take the door off.
Tap the adjusters up a little to release them and rotate appropriately.

It's helpful to mark the starting positions, so you can get them back, if your adjustments go awry!

@RandomGrinch thanks for your reply, I lifted the door and got Mrs to turn compression hinge and it worked

Well done you two!
Here's hoping that will stop the draught!
