Exterior UPVC door adjustment

Question

I have a UPVC door which closes OK in winter (easier) and is very difficult to close in summer. This is the door mechanism not the door itself. I've had a good look around the door and its not warped, etc. seems to fit the door surround correctly, ie. not dropped, etc. To my view it seems to have been badly installed/set-up/adjusted. I cannot seem to figure out how to correct this / adjust it so it closes easily and correctly. I believe this does not require a new door, just adjustment..!!  Wanting someone who can adjust this door..!! Please give a quote..!!

Hi There

Depending on the age and make of the door there should be an adjustment there some where. They are usually on the hinges somewhere but sometimes they are concealed. I could help more if I could see a photo of the door and its parts.

Kind Regards

Hi this is cos upvc expands & shrinks will change in weather and these doors are manufactured and fitted accordingly having to keep allowance for the same. I can fix this not an issue. Will be callout charges of £100.Thanks

These doors have quite a lot of adjustment on the hinges, particularly flag hinges up and down and left and right to get them square in the frame. Probably just needs fine adjustment left or right to make sure that it is set in the middle of the width of the frame. This should take around 1/2 hour to do and cost around £50 for the call out. It may be under guarantee and if so the original fitter will come and sort it out.

Hi there is normally adjustment on the hinges which takes door up and over left or right.  Upvc doors swell up in the heat . And drop causing the lock to hit the keeps normally meaning for needs to be toe and heeled more

Hi Alex

We are able to do adjustments to doors with a standard call out fee. However there is a chance the door may not be able to have any adjusyments to it. Please email us some pictures of the higes and locks, along with your postcode and we will be able to confirm the cost and if the door is adjustable. 

Many thanks

Hi 
Depends how old the door is as older doors do hit have adjustments on the hinges.
If it’s a newer door the hinges will have adjustments on the bottom of the hinge to go up or down and another adjustment to bring the door in or out to the frame.Then on the side of the hinge there is an adjustment to raise or lower the door.
Price wise adjustments on Doors start at £85

Good afternoon,

UPVC dilates in heat. In UK weather will normally dilate only 1-5 mm, (in extreme heat can dilate up to 5 cm) but age of door, way of use and quality of installation  also are to be considered. 
If its only about slight adjustments we wouldn't charge more than £100.

without seeing your door you should be looking no more than £75 behind the hinges  there will be adjustment screws normally 4mm allen  hinge cover screws will be visable when you open the door fully
