    Thanks, We were unable to lock the patio door last night. Watched this and pretty much understood what to do to mend it. The world needs more practical videos for adjusting/mending stuff - Thanks you saved me the cost of a call out and some fiddling about. 👍

    Just found your vids on adjustment of flag hinges after looking at scores of vids, yours the best by far, many thanks.

    Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your fantastic video. After watching your video and following your steps on adjustment our door swings freely, locks now and is squeak free. 😀👍

    Ace - now I need one to work out what needs adjusting when it won’t close properly!

    Hello, lovely video and easy to understand. Please advise, my door is catching on the top, very fine for now but im worried in case it gets worse. Now, is it the top hinge that I need to open and adjust or the lower one? Thank you in advance.

      Hello, if the entire door needs lowering (because its too high) both hinges are likely requiring to be adjusted. If the door catches only at the top outside or inside edge, that sounds like more of just the top hinge needing adjustment. I found I needed to tweak both though to ensure the door was 'square' when closing. Hard to say which without a video of it happening of course. Best of luck!

      Very hard to say sadly. If the hinges are not damaged it could be fine. You might find it gets worse in the summer when the plastic expands slightly.

    Flag hinges lots of adjustment but ugly as sin. Easy to break into

    What if they have hinges that don't adjust

    • @ChrisHorswill
      @ChrisHorswill  Рік тому +1

      Sadly this would mean the purchase of new hinges, if still available of course.

      Or adjust it properly by reglazing, the way it should be done.
