Loved the video as a 77 year old lady I’m very proud of myself I watched your video followed your advice and my back door no longer sticks thank you
Good for you 👍
You just saved our bacon. Couldn't even close the door, and at -1 degree its a job that had to be done at 9pm tonight. Can't thank you enough - legend.
Yeh not a good time to have a door that wont shut!
There should be more people like you in the world! Thank you mate....
This video is still helping people out, thanks. I’ve had a sticking shed door for the last 2-3 years and can now finally fix it thanks to this video. I’d but you a beer if I could
Very helpful thank you
Thank you great video 🙏🏻 just fixed my back door it’s been sticking for ages. I was going to get someone to do it for me. But thanks to your assume instructions I got the tools ⚒️ out & did it myself. Feeling chuffed to bits 😁
Many thanks for posting this. My catching door had bugged me for about 3 years and thought I was going to have to spend a fortune to get someone to look at it; found your incredibly clear instruction and 10 mins later its perfect. Cheers
Glad it helped you solve the problem and also some cash 👍
Always indebted to content like this. Clear, concise & nicely paced. UA-cam at its best - normal people making the World just a little better for everyone else. Cheers Fella.
Thank you for this, our door has been catching since it was installed 10 years ago!
I’ve had a upvc door that has had to be slammed shut every summer for the past 5 years, following this simple informative video I have just managed to adjust the door myself and now it shuts perfectly again! Thank you!
Cheers mate that was very helpful,I've now got a straight door thanks trev
Thanks for posting this. My back door decided it was no longer going to close at 5pm on a Sunday. I was just about to resign myself to sleeping in the kitchen when I found your video. So simple to follow, and saved me an expensive call out tomorrow!
Goat it helped you. Great job having the confidence to adjust it 👍
That tutorial is incredibly useful. A simple and informative film at just the right pace. Thank you.
This video has saved me some £’s, I’ve had to get a whole new locking system which I’ve fitted myself and couldn’t work out why my door wouldn’t lock, now it’s all fixed thanks to this video, top man, thanks for sharing 👏👍
Been searching for a solution on my door for months! Mainly because I didn’t know what these kind of doors are called and made it so hard to search the internet. And this is just the video I needed. Thank you. I’m so excited to try this tomorrow! Im watching this now and it’s 11pm 😂.
We can't know everything..... I knew these double glazed doors could be adjusted, but now how. This was very useful 👍🏻
Brilliant, thanks! My back door had been getting progressively harder and harder to close, rubbing on the bottom. Watched this and 5 mins later it was all sorted, smooth as butter now :)
Useful. I have a door to which I can apply this knowhow.
You mention "Phillips screwdriver". At least two of the screws, so probably all, are clearly Pozidriv. These points are not the same as Phillips. Phillips and Pozi came from the same idea, but Phillips drivers slip quite easily if used in pozi heads. Most screwdrivers with interchangeable points come with both. the Phillips ones are usually marked (eg) "PH1, PH2, PH3,..." and pozi "PZ1, PZ2, PZ3,...". One giveaway is the extra narrow grooves set 45 degrees between the main lobes. These are always pozi.
Thanks for the video. Sorted my door a treat 👌
Exactly what I was looking for to realign my door that couldn't close properly. Thanks for sharing👍
Perfectly explained procedure - adjusted my own door without fear - works perfectly - thanks
For a few years I couldn't open the flaps to adjust our patio doors and your video ended my misery. Thank you.
Thank you. We've had a squint door on our static for a few years. I never got a 'round tuit' until now. Many thanks, I thought we would need a new door.
My son has lived with a jamming Patio Door in his house for a couple of years
You have provided me with a solution this problem ----Brilliant
Thank you sooo much, my hubby was about to pay someone to come at look and even replace the door as we either can’t open or close it depending on the weather etc so me finding this tutorial has saved us £££. Thanks again
Glad it helped you 👍
Absolutely brilliant thank you for posting your video. Things are tight for us all right now so this advice will save us all some hard earned money to pay for the heating this winter.
Thanks for the video. It solved a problem we've had with our door for ages. Clear and easy to understand guide.
Absolute legend!! I didn't have the same symptom but the solution was the same, thanks to you I can lock my door now that everything is aligned and in sync.
Thanks a LOT for this, my door was driving me crazy. I really like the step by process at exactly the right pace and your calm manner. Strangely, and good for me, I seem to have the same door as you have 🙂
Thanks so much! I thought I'd need to get help in, but it seems you've given me all the help I need.
Great video that showed me exactly what to do and not call out an expensive cowboy. My double pvc doors are fixed in a wooden outdoor shed used at a local charity . 👍
What a legend! My door is similar to yours, tho I had to unscrew the hinge covers. I looked at several tutorials but only yours made sense from start to finish!
Thank you for posting this video, I have now adjusted my french doors and can close and lock them without a struggle
well done sir,nice and clear with no silly music
Brilliant! Watched a few videos which would have had me doing all sorts, and yours was the most straightforward and worked a treat. After months of issues I literally fixed it in an advert break.
My door is catching on the bottom. I was just about to ask about up and down, thanks for covering that at the end.
Glad it helped you 👍
You're a legend! Next step was taking the whole hinge off before I found your video
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this VERY useful clip. My mother in law`s door started sticking since we`ve had the hot weather and i kept getting it in the ear!!!!!!! now fixed thanks to you .....NO MORE HASSLE 😂😂
Great tutorial helped me out loads thank you
Waited for man to do this............. eventually did it all on my own! Thank you for such clear instructions.
Thank you.
Mine had a little screw to take off the caps, but everything else was the same.
Great video.
Glad it helped you 👍
You beauty! Thank you so much! Perfect tutorial! 😊👍🏽
You are so welcome!
Brilliant thanks for this 5 mins watching and 5 mins doing and my door now locks. Locksmith said it was 200 beans call out charge alone to take a look 😅
Glad it helped you 👍
You hit the nail on the head here my backdoor needs this doing and guessing there are hundreds of other people with the same issue! What a great video!
Glad to be of some help 👍
Thanks for this. I've been struggling with this door for years, but the final straw was when I wasn't able to lock it from the outside! I contacted a door and window firm, but of course all they wanted to do was sell me a new door. So I followed your instructions and all is well. Mine is a different kind of hinge cover, it just needed to be unscrewed so you have to use a bit of common sense if your door is different.👏👏👏
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much, I fixed my back door without having to wait for someone to come out. Perfect mate, :)
what a guy, saved us money and heart ache. cheers
Glad to have helped you 👍
been waiting for a month for the council to sort our door, did it myself in 10 mins. thanks mate👍
UPVC lock replacement is similarly simple. Often key cutters will not/ cannot provide replacement keys, as you have " master"...copies not made. Replace the lock,...im sure this lad can do a video of this task.
Good man...
You are amazing 🥳🥳🥳🥳I’ve been trying for weeks to sort this door lol after you video I did it in 5 minutes. Thank you so much 👌👌👌👌👏👏👍👍
Very well explained, thank you so much, currently have this problem, though no more 👍
Glad it helped you 👍
Many thanks for posting this very clear video - it worked an absolute treat and I wish I'd done it years ago!
Fantastic. Thank you very much indeed. Troublesome door now adjusted and working perfectly.
Had French doors catching since being fitted years ago ,just adjusted them in 5 minutes now there perfect cheers
Thanks a million saved me a headache ...knowledge is power as they say and you passed on just a little bit to us in youtube land thanks again
Jesus, ive fitted and adjusted these hinges daily for 11 years and yet im watching this video for no apparent reason
If I have a draught coming from the centre area of my door, what do I do? Thank u
@@cmck2696 you can adjust it inwards on the underneath of the hinges, to bring door tighter to frame, if its the locking side make sure the keeps are adjusted so it pulls the door in tightly when you lift your handle up and engage the lock
Of course you are.
@@ianmarsden8568 strange comment
Thank you! Mine had a back plate with screws, but same everything else.
Watched this last night and adjusted door today, spot on. Cheers
Thanks your knowledge worked a treat
Thank you! My front door now works perfectly, and I didn't need to pay anyone! 😀
That`s half the battle ,, have a go first as my dad would always say ( with a broad Scottish accent)😂😂👍👍
Thankyou very informative helped me adjust my door
brilliant. couldn't work out how to remove the hinge, now I do. now our front door closes properly without catching.thanks.
You have made that so simple.. job done today. Cheers too you. The best instructions on UA-cam..
Thank you so much I was struggling until I found you all done now closed perfectly 🎉🎉
Brilliant Thank you. My door now opens and closes smoothly. Thanks to your information.
Cheers for the info, fixed my door in under 2 minutes, take the rest of the week off 5 Stars
Lol glad it helped 👍
Thanks, just used this information and it worked a treat 😊
Excellent video. Thank you
I do not know for the love of me why this popped into my feed, but its well timed as my front door needs adjusting
Hope it helps you 👍
Thanks you just saved me £95 which was the quote i got to fix this and it took me less than 10 min to fix the door
Glad it helped you. Treat yourself with some of the cash saved 👍
Thank you it's so simple once someone shows you. Great demo.
Glad it was helpful!
Followed your instructions door is working magic. Thanks.
Helped me sort a patio door that had a visible gap to the outside where it joined with the other door. Thanks so much!
Absolutely brilliant video. Clear and to the point. I just adjusted my door and now it closes property AND I can lift the handle and engage the 5 lever locks and turn the key to double lock the door. Fantastic! thanks, keep the great vids coming...........
Thankyou so much I was able to fix my caravan door and prevent a cold draught before winter 😊
Wow … what a great post ~ problem solved .. Thank You
Great thanks, my door tends to catch slightly in the winter months as the house expands and contracts, I didnt realise there was an adjustment possible.
No bullshit....just the right amount of info ...brill 10 out of 10 top of the class...done adjustment in 3mins flat....tar
Fantastic advice & a great clear video of how to adjust a door, i will now adjust my door
Glad it helped
Job jobbed! Thank you for this, my door was getting really stiff to open and close, this fix has sorted it right iut.
Nice pace and delivery. Thanks again. 👍👍
Super thanks so much. Very clear instructions
Brilliant tutorial and very easy to do, just adjusted mines and saved me a few quid on calling someone out 👌 legend!
Glad it helped
Great video! Very clear, easy to follow, step by step instructions.
Excellent video. Really put my mind at ease to tackle the job. 👍🏻
Thank you! The door I just adjusted has a T-hinge rather than a flag hinge, so had to loosen a screw on the other side of the cover instead of just popping it off with the screwdriver.
Underneath, the workings were very similar, and just had to adjust the depth with the allen key. Now it doesn't catch at the top, and the locking mechanism doesn't jam. Didn't realise it would be this simple.
Glad it helped you as a starting point 👍
It's my lock, it won't lock when it's closed,but when it's opened. Suddenly happened tonight. Hoping it'll work doing this!
Thanks for this, worked a charm!
Glad to help 👍
Absolute lifesaver, thank you
Glad it helped!
Simply brilliant, the tutorial was clear and well presented. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tip.
OCD me would have cleaned around those hinges before refitting the covers.
Great advice, sorted my sticking door in jig time. Thank you
Glad to be of assistance 👍
Thanks a lot. Your teaching method is just Brillinant!
Brilliant thankyou! My door had tilted so much that I could put my fingers through the gap at the top. Such an easy job once you know how 👍
Thank you so much for this brilliant video. We have been hours trying to get our door shut and we’ve now been able, thanks to you, to sleep tonight! You’re a star x
Glad it helped you 👍
It worked like a charm, thank you!
Btw, the cross-headed screwdriver from 1:30 is a Pozidriv, not a Phillips one (see extra dents). Although they are mostly compatible, it's good to use the right tool for each type of screw!
spot on what you tube was invented for i salute you my man thanks
Glad it helped 👍
Really useful. Some further advice on temperature changes affecting the mechanisms would be helpful.
Great point!
A good video and very well explained
Pure gold ! Thanks
Thank you, saved me so much worry
Brilliant video thanks for the help😊
