PVC door not sealing well against door frame

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.00 PM

My PVC front door doesn't seem to be sealing well against the door frame. Both the door and frame have rubber seals, but not sure that good contact is being made along the hinge side. How can I adjust the door?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If you open the door & look at the locking strip you should see one or two round rollers "mushrooms" in the centre of these is a 4mm hex nut if you put an Allen key in it & turn it so the roller moves towards the edge of the door it will tighten the seal against the door frame (when the door is closed & the handle has been pulled up) There also might be adjustable keeps where the hooks or shoot bolts go in to. these too can be adjusted with a screwdriver to tighten the seal. Best bit of advice is only do one adjustment at a time then test it (if it makes things worse, you know which one to adjust back the other way), before trying something else Hope this helps Paul Swish Doors
