Roger looks at a viewer’s dodgy door and explains how to work out whether the issue is with the frame, the hinges, or the door adjustment itself, and why a simple Allen key adjustment may be all that is needed before calling in a door and window repair specialist. 🔑 Key Insights • If a uPVC door has gaps at the top and bottom, the problem may be a twisted frame or a door that simply needs adjusting. • Always take photos of the whole door, especially the hinge side, not just the obvious gap or draught. • The hinge side can reveal whether the door is sitting evenly or whether one hinge is pulling in more than another. • Many uPVC door hinges can be adjusted with an Allen key to pull the door in or out slightly. • If you are not confident adjusting the hinges yourself, a double-glazing repair specialist or “window doctor” can usually sort it. • These specialists often deal with dropped doors, faulty locks, misted panes, draughts, hinges and windows that no longer close properly. • In the worst case, the frame may need loosening, nudging back into position, refixing and resealing. • A properly fitted door should have been checked and adjusted before the installer left. _______________________ Got a question of your own?
