How to quickly check if a uPVC door is sitting out of adjustment and needing readjusting

How to Check if a Door Needs Adjustment | Quick and Simple Guide
In this video, I demonstrate an easy method to check if your door needs adjustment. All you need is a pencil and a keen eye to spot potential issues. This quick and effective approach works for various types of doors and even windows.
While this video is designed for speed, I'll be following up with more detailed guides on door adjustments soon. Apologies for the camera quality - I wanted to get this out to you quickly based on a viewer request.

Need to be shown how to plumb the door once fitted. IE gap at the bottom tight as the top when lined up against the frame before closing.

[@icooper5236]

The easies check is the welds on the frame and door should line through,if not it needs adjusting or it's not been fitted square

[@DGPSUK]

Yes that's another good check just as long as the door was all lined up properly during manufacture 👍

On my uPVC door the hooks, roller cams and lock sits fine... The only problem is it the catch doesn't latch if that makes sense. The thing that pushes in with the latch...
So for the door to be closed and not locked i have to lift it up for it to stay closed before i even lock it

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, sounds like you need to adjust the latch on the keep. Send me some images and I'll have a look. [e-mail] 👍

Hi,,yes my door needs lifting a bit because the roller catches at the bottom,,how do I lift it pal

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, there are a few ways to do it via the hinges or heeling and toeing the glazing, what style is your door. Send some images over to [e-mail] 👍

This is great but try this on my brown door that's right up against the wall...

[@DGPSUK]

Ah yes not so easy 😞

[@ChrisTheSparky]

@@DGPSUK Thanks for the great vid, I managed to get a torch down the wall to see things and now the key turns like silk 👍🏽

Cheers pal

Very welcome 😊

[@julianengel492]

So how do I adjust it if it is too low?

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, you can adjust the door via the hinge adjustment or re-pack the glazing to pull the door back into alignment.

[@forestranger312]

Clear as mud

[@shakeycola4933]

How do you ''push'' up

[@DGPSUK]

Hi, do you mean push the door up to realign?

[@dggm19]

Wish I could understand what he's saying.

[@DGPSUK]

The joys of being Scottish 😊😊😊

[@Bluewolfe96-r1d]

I can understand him perfectly well. Are you hard of hearing ?

[@colin1493]

Easily understood by me, thanks.
