My front door is a standard UPVC job, fitted well before we moved in. The opening it sits in is about 2.2m wide with two sidelights either side of the main door.
Currently when you open and close the door the whole thing shakes, I assume because it's fixed at either end into the wall but has no fixings in the middle.
When we moved in there was no lintel, it was just a single skin of bricks which were coming down (along with the end of the joists that were Sat on them), cowboy door fitters were the cause of that.
We had a catnic type lintel put in to fix this and there is a gap of about an inch from the top of the UPVC frame to the bottom of the steel. The guys that fitted the lintel for us filled this with foam.
To stop the shaking I was hoping there was some way to fix the top of the door frame to the lintel, any ideas?
