Mend Double Glazed Frame

how to adjust a double glazed door using the Allen Keys on the hinges?

How do I make my double glazed door go flush with the frame?

At present, the top of the door is striking before the bottom.

There are three hinges with adjusting Allen Keys on the bottom and side of each hinge.

Buy a pack of multi sized allen keys as the access screw is quite deep. The job could not be easier. Bank holiday job done in a flash.

Hi i had the same thing happen to me. I just sorted it myself and very please with the results.

I first adgusted the 3 main hinges from below first taking out the white plastic covers with a pen knife. Then i used an alen key to move the hinges up about 5 mm each. This help but did not fix it totaly. So I secondley unclipped the small white plastic covering a second hole which was on the side of the hunges facing the door. This also need an allen key. I only touched the top and middle hinge and turned these anti clockwise after i relised turning them clockwize made it worse. After a little trial and error my door now works perfectly just as it did the day it was fitted.

get correct allen key and turn the key left and count the amounts of turns, try about 5 each time, repeat on other two.
