Hi the problem i have is when the sun shines on my patio door the surround moves on the glass resulting in the door catching on the other closed door....In order to rectify this i have to bear hug the frame to push it back onto the glass.....My question is, how can i stop this from happening.....All suggestions welcome...Hope my description makes sense....Bill

The problem you have is the door is expanding with the heat, woodgrain is common for it as its dark and absorbs more heat, white dooes it too but not near as much.
Generally i would look on the hinges and if they are anything like these....

....where is shows + - 5.0mm use a 6mm allen key, turn anti-clockwise i think, put a pencil mark somewhere on the frame so you know your going the right way, do this to pull your doors apart but be carefull as to much will make them difficult to lock
