Hi Guys,

In all this cold weather I have found out I have a huge draught coming from between the door and the frame, its between the middle and bottom hinge (hinge side). Looking outside i can see there is a gap of around 2-3 mm, door locks ok and is not catching anywhere, how can i adjust the hinges to "close the gap"?

The hinges have got a cover with allen key slot on the long part against the door (not techincal i know) a cover on the bottom with allen key hole and a cover on the top with what looks like a star plastic fitting.

any advice? many thanks

That star thing :D is eccentric and needs turning, if theres a hole in the centre of it for an allen key then its easy but on some you have to lift the door off the hinges and turn them manually if you get me and then lift the door back on the hinges and its a tad tricky on your own :cry:

Spot on!! have now adjusted it so its nice and snug.

Many thanks for the help
