UPVC door not staying closed

Anonymous user 9 March 2024 - 2.53 PM

My door door will not stay shut, I have to turn the handle up to keep it closed. Is there anything that can be done?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi there. This is easy to fix with a little adjustment either to the door hinges or to the catch on the frame. If you unscrew the little screw at the back of the hinges this should give you access to the inner workings of your hinges. Using an Alan key to release the left and then turning the right until you see the door sash move over to the right should do it. Do this top and bottom.
