Hello!, I am trying to pull my upvc door back towards its frame, but the lateral adjustment hinges (all six of them, two per hinge) will not turn either anti-clockwise or clockwise. All hinges and screws are adjusted similarly, with the marks pointing to the frame (see pic)
Could all six screws have seized or broken? - the door does get blown about in the wind a lot, and it dates from 2005ish - or I might be missing something basic.
The screws for vertical adjustment and compression turn ok.
The instruction sheet I am following https://www.justdoorsuk.com/downloads/challenger-butt-hinge-adjustment.pdf doesn't say anything about the grub screw in the middle of the hinge - is that important?
Perplexed
