Adjusting uPVC doors with these sort of hinges...

pcdj · 12 May 2007

Could someone please suggest whether the hinges on this upvc door are adjustable, i've had a search through previous posts and they look different to the usual style that have adjustment holes for adjustment with an allen key.

The door is drooping on hot days and is consequently catching at the bottom corner making it difficult to close.

Thanks.

With the door open...

What type of door is it...single panel....single glass panel...double panel.
which corner is it dropping at.....the side with the hinges or the side with the handle on.

It's a double glazed unit and it's dropping on the side with the handle on.

Ok it probally needs toe and heeling. Have you ever taken upvc glazing beading out before, because when dealing with large glass units its easy to damage them, if you have had no experience before.

Missed the reply to this so sorry for the late reply!

No i haven't taken out beading before, so not sure whether to leave it to the pros.

The thing is the other door that has the same problem and the same style hinges has nothing more than an oval window of approximately 30cm by 50cm in the upper third of the door - the rest is solid upvc. So how does one go about toe and healing such a door where the glass obviously isn't removable?

You may find the oval window sits in a large upvc panel which is then held in by beads to the door frame.
