Identifying the Problem

There are many reasons that your uPVC doors might not be closing correctly. It could be because the hinges are misaligned or bent, for instance or it could be an issue with the locking mechanism. These issues can cause leaks and draughts, so it is crucial to act immediately. If you don't take action, the damage will worsen and your door could become difficult to open or close.

The most common reason for a uPVC not closing is improperly adjusted hinges that are not properly adjusted. This could be a problem however it's fairly simple to fix. The first step is to identify the problem and then find out what's causing it.

You can start solving the issue once you've identified the issue. There are two main kinds of uPVC hinges which are butt hinges and flag hinges. A flag hinge is comprised of two parts. One part is fixed to the door sash and the second part is fixed to the door frame or an adjacent structure. The two parts of the hinge are joined by a pin or rod which acts as the hinge's axis. The hinges and sash are visible on the inside of the doors but they are hidden when the door is closed to give it a neat and smooth appearance.

A butt hinge is akin to the flag hinge, however it's mounted on the back of the sash and doesn't extend as far as an actual flag hinge. The butt hinge is also hidden when the door is closed to give it a sleek, streamlined look.

To adjust a butt hinge locate the adjuster hole and use an allen key to turn it clockwise or anticlockwise until you get to the desired position. Be cautious not to over-adjust the hinge, as this may cause the door to be difficult to open and close.

Another issue that is common is that the lock doesn't raise enough to allow the upv door hinges to be locked. This can be a problem with the euro lock or handle, but it's usually due to hinges that are misaligned or worn. It's generally an easy problem to fix, but it's best to leave it to a professional to fix it to ensure the task is done properly.

Identifying the solution

It is typical for uPVC doors and windows to loosen their hinges because of constant use and being opened/closed. This can lead to them becoming noisy or difficult to open. Thankfully, it's simple to make small adjustments to ensure they function correctly.

The first step is to determine which type of hinges your uPVC door has. There are three types of hinges; Butt hinges (sometimes called a cylinder or pencil hinge) as well as flag hinges and rebate hinges. One way to accomplish this is to look at hinges from outside the door. You will probably notice that the edges at the top and bottom of the patio door hinges have a gap. This is where the hinges are installed. On the hinge plate, you'll also observe the screw holes. You can adjust the height (up and down) of the hinge using these slots.

A butt hinge consists of two parts One is attached to the frame and the other connected to the door's sash. These are connected by a pin or rod that serves as the hinge's axis. When the door is closed the hinges of the flag are concealed behind and in between the frame and door and frame, ensuring a neat appearance inside.

Another kind of uPVC hinge for aluminium hinged doors is a flag hinge, which looks like a traditional timber hinge for doors. They are located at the outer edge of the door and are more appealing in appearance than the butt-hinges. They are also more versatile as they can be adjusted laterally and vertically.

In the end, rebate uPVC doors are less common in the present. Rebate uPVC hinges are like flag hinges, however they can be repositioned laterally and in compression (moving the door closer or further away from the frame).

Check that your door is at a proper level before making any adjustments. To check this, simply put a level on the top of your door and check for any gaps between it and the frame. If there is gaps at the top or middle of the door, then this is a sign that the door is not in alignment and needs to be adjusted.

Adjusting the Air Conditioner

Over time, uPVC can become loose on the hinges. This can cause the door to fall or become misaligned in the frame. This can be easily corrected by following a few simple steps. To do so, first use a tape measure to look at the gap between the frame and door at the top, middle, and the bottom. If the gaps are different, it means that the hinges need adjusting.

To adjust the hinges to make the adjustment, first identify what kind of hinges you have installed on your uPVC door. There are three kinds of hinges that include T hinges (flag hinges) as well as rebate hinges (rebate hinges) and flag hinges. Depending on the type of hinge there are different methods for making the adjustments. Flag hinges, commonly used on modern uPVC doors, are rectangularly shaped and are named for the fact they resemble flags. They offer the greatest control in adjusting a uPVC hinge, giving you the ability to move them from side to side, vertically, or even close them to a door jamb. T hinges are similar to flag hinges, except that the part attached to the door is in the middle. These hinges can be adjusted laterally as well as vertically but not as tight as rebate or flag hinges.

Then, use an Allen key to loosen the screw, or grub screws that control each hinge. You may need to loosen the top and bottom screws to adjust the vertical angle. For lateral side-to side adjustments, you'll only require the screw on the door side of the hinge.

After you've made all the necessary adjustments, test your uPVC door to see whether it's now properly aligned in the frame. If not, you may require adjusting the hinges or replace them.

It's important to keep in mind that when your door has been poorly aligned for a long period of time, it could indicate that the hinges are beginning to wear out and require replacing. Fortunately, this is a relatively simple process that is typically covered by the warranty of the installer or guarantee.
