What type of hinge is this and how do I adjust it?

[Gallo]

Hello internet,

I'm trying to adjust one side of a French door (the master) that is catching a little bit at the bottom corner when it closes. It seems to happen after it's been open for a while and it's been baked by the sun so wonder if it's expanding a bit. Seems ok first thing in the morning after it's been locked all night..

Anyway what type of hinge is this and how do I adjust it - does it need raising up a little? Do I adjust all three hinges on that side or just one?

There is a cap on the side of the hinge that joins the door, one top and bottom of the wall side and a little allen screw that looks like it goes through the top.

I think you need @ronniecabers and @crank39 to reply. There are others that can help, but they are the two that spring to mind.

Its a Mila Evolution flag hinge.

Sideways adjustment is with an allen key under the little centre cap

up and down is done with an allen key under the top cap arrowed, as you turn the bolt down(clockwise) notice the gap I've circled get smaller, this is the hinge moving up taking the door with it, this is the adjustment you need if its rubbing along the silver keep, adjust using one hinge but then take the slack up on the remaining 2 hinges so the weight is even(ish) on all 3 hinges, you'll feel the resistance in turning the allen key when your about there

Amazing thank you - so clockwise a bit on the middle hinge top adjuster until it doesn't catch any more then clockwise on the top of the other two hinges until I feel any slack is removed. Will give it a go thanks for the advice. Gotta try and find an allen key in the garage now.....

Yes ignore the first pic.

To adjust the height flick out all 3 caps ON TOP of each hinge, to adjust door up just adjust one hinge, any one you want for now, tighten the bolt which is clockwise and see the circled gap shrink, there may be slack in there so may need a few turns before something starts moving but you'll feel that in the allen key, keep checking the door operation by holding the handle down to keep the latch retracted and move the door to and fro over the silver striker plate to see if it rubs, you'll feel it rubbing through friction and vibration through the handle thats why I retract the latch so it isolates it, also check to see if both doors are level across the top when closed, doesn't have to be to the thousandth of an inch just ish, its not NASA, once you got it in position then adjust the slack out of the other 2 hinges

Ok I wasn't anticipating TWO screws! Which one do I turn? It's the one on the right furthest away from the house right?

Think I've worked it out it's the one on the left closest to the house. The other one didn't turn (think that little screw locks it) so gave the other one a twist and it seems to have fixed it.

Yes the back one, the front one is the hinge pin itself, offset like a cam so turning it through 360° moves the door in/out and left/right
