Tightening UPVC Doors to Stop Draught

[adzyp]

Hi all,

We had a conservatory built earlier in the year and now its cold im trying to stop as much draught as i can.

Ive noticed today that there is a noticeable gap at the top and bottom of the right hand side double doors, the left one seems fine.

Ive tried turning the rollers but they dont seem to make any difference. They just seem to turn in an oval shaped circle rather than left to right.

The catches are already pushed in as close to the door frame as possible.

I have attached a few pictures to show you what the bottom part of the door is currently like.

Do you have the sort of door where, when you pull the handle up to lock it, two locks shoot out from the top and the bottom of the door (one up the sky and one down to the floor)? If so, there should be an adjustment on the slots where these locks go in to. I had the same issue with mine and this fixed it.

Interesting, i'll have to have a look when i get home later. Its definatley got the hooks that come out the side when lifting the handle up, not sure if it will also have the ones top and bottom?

Isn't the frame wrongly constructed? The profile doesn't seem to line up

Can you expand a little on what you mean please? Think its something I can adjust myself?

Also, just looking at my picture again, it seems as though it may be the central UPVC bar which is stopping it closing any further? This is attached to the other door so wondering if that one needs adjusting too?
