UPVC doors dropped

Hi Rory, uPVC doors are set up and adjusted using a process called toe and heeling. If you search 'how to toe and heel a uPVC door', then I'm sure your find good information on how to do it. Only minor adjustments can be made using hinges. More worryingly, is why have they dropped? It may be just poor installation, or just simply age. What you need to check is that there is a lintel above the doors. It is a regular occurance for uPVC doors (which have no load bearing capacity), to be installed in place of timber doors (which have load bearing capacity) and as such load is placed on the uPVC doors which will lead to distortion. Better check this first. Best regards Joe Smereka

Josef, your on the wrong track there, If there was not a lintel fitted there would not be a gap as the top of the frame would get compressed onto the door sash. No window or door have load bearing capacities which Is why when replacing frames consideration should always take regarding this and If needed lintels Inserted. Saying this the problem will undoubtedly be they need re glazing with the toe and heel method Take care, John
