Rehau door supplied skewed

[bolst3r]

Just taken delivery of some windows and door and just noticed that the alignment is out between the door and frame so the door looks twisted. I guess I assumed they would be assembled on a jig in the factory to get them square before distribution... Is it normal for them to be supplied like this then left to the fitter to square the door and move all the locking mechs so everything works smoothly?

If it is i'll suck it up and get on with it... I assume it's a case of adjusting the hinges so the door is square in the frame and opens and closes smoothly. Then once happy move the locking plate thing on the frame up or down to match the door locking bolts?

Sorry dumb questions I expect.

Don't expect the door to look square in the frame until its fitted, ok it should be there or there abouts but the final adjustment is made when toe and heeling and further fine adjustment can be made with the hinges.

Fit the frame square, level and plumb then toe and heel the sash to suit the frame, do all this correctly and the door should work with all the lock keeps in the right places

thanks crank, TBF the local supplier dropped the items off then did me a drawing detailing the order of the packers for toeing and heeling so they do seem decent, just looked a bit strange to me...

A general rule of thumb is to toe and heel it so the diagonal weld in the top corner of the locking side of the door lines through with the weld on the frame, they should run along the same plane

Thanks once again...
