Hi folks,

Have been a reader on the forums for a long time and have fixed many problems thanks to the forum but now I have a problem that I can't seem to find an answer for.

I have a double opening French? Door.

Recently I noticed that it had slipped and wouldn't close properly so I adjusted the tilt part in the top of 3 hinges which fixed the issue, however I have now noticed that the top part of the door doesn't seem to close nice and snug compared to the middle and bottom part.

I've had this issue on a kitchen cupboard before and was able to adjust it with the hinges but can't seem to fix it on this occasion with this door.

There seems to be 3 parts that I can tweak on the hinge, the bottom which seems to higher/lower the hinge, the middle side Allen slot which tweaks the angle and the top adjuster which seems to adjust how close the door is to the frame.

Am I doing something wrong or missing a vital piece that I can adjust to get this top part to close snug? I can push the top right (hinges on the left) and its pushable with about 0.5cm travel - almost like the door has warped.

Any suggestions would greatly be received.

I've attached 2 pictures.

P.s. wrote this on my tablet so I apologise for any typos!!

Thanks
Matt
