    Thanks Derek for your video it has even been confirmed by my double glazing company as OK. I have successfully adjusted my new french doors. You save me £40 plus VAT for a man to come out and make adjustments on the frame

    After a year of banging the door shut I have watched this video and discovered how simple it was to fix. Door closing bliss. Thank you.

    Ive finished diying some french doors and going through the adjustments, this helps much squaring the doors to each other.

    Brilliant, thank you so much. You have saved us money and made our house secure again. Mine was slightly different but similar enough to try the technique. I used a spirit level to check, as soon as it was level, it locked again fine. Very proud of myself for trying and eternally grateful to you.

    More helpful videos like this are needed on UA-cam. I didn't know about the hidden 5mm hex to actually raise the hinge, couldn't work it out. Thank you sir.

    What's to dislike about this video? It just saved me an £80 call out charge from a locksmith. Two quarter turns on each of three hinges et voila! We now have smooth locking doors again. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the clip.

  • @Boraknikov
    @Boraknikov 11 років тому

    Yes, helped me out too - mine had torx headed screws that I adjusted upwards ( clockwise ) This enabled the door locking mechanism to work properly in this hot weather that otherwise expanded the striker plate restricting the hook from entering it fully. Good presentation video.

    I have the small ones like this but the doors width is smaller - double still though. I can loosen the small allen keys but the Allen key to raise is not a 9 ..... it's one I don't have typical.
    To raise the door though as it's catching on the bottom are you turning the Allen key (bottom) so that it's away from you to the outside -- -it's hard to differentiate your clockwise -- better to say away from you or towards you would be easier at that angle ?
    cheers.
