Need advice with hinge adjustment

[colincobb]

Hello, I am pleased to have joined this group and I am curious to know if anyone can help me. I brought a secondhand upvc door, which I have fitted, however it seems there is a little tension, about two cms before it closes. It wants to bounce back rather than close. I feel adjusting the hinge may help but cannot find any adjustment to pull the door away from the farm at the hinge edge. I can adjust it left and right and up and down, but as there are only two adjustment holes I am unsure if I am able to adjust the hinge to pull the door away from the frame. Any thoughts?

How to adjust and pull door away from frame on hinge edge.

hi, it's a '3D' flag hinge, it's probably compressing too tightly hinge side.

here's a link that might help, you need to stop the door pulling too tightly into the frame hinge side,

it shows the 3 adjustments that you get on most generic flag hinges.
