Thank you so much for this, my doors have been doing my head in and I had no idea they were this easy to fix
No problem 👍
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.
+Paul Martindale No problem
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
Glad it helped!
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.
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.
Graeham Smith No problem. Al.
My hinges were slightly different but still managed to adjust the door thanks to your very helpful video!
Ive finished diying some french doors and going through the adjustments, this helps much squaring the doors to each other.
Cheers D
Great
Thank you. You got my out of a muddle with a new set of French Doors! Gonna give the company hell tomorrow tho!
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.
You're welcome! All the best Sharon.
More helpful videos like this are needed on TH-cam. I didn't know about the hidden 5mm hex to actually raise the hinge, couldn't work it out. Thank you sir.
No problem!
Excellent. Thanks for posting this. Very clear instructions.
Derek. Brilliant demo.
No problem , pleased you managed it ok.
Kind regards,
al.
You just saved me £80 for a call-out, thanks very much
No problem 👍
Excellent. You showed me exactly what I needed to do, and my doors have the exact same adjusters on them. Thanks.
No problem.
Thank you! Exactly what I was hoping to learn, easily explained and helped me solve the drafts on the doors quickly!
Very welcome!
Thanks. I didn't realize how easy it can be!!!
I've used this video twice now with amazing results both times. Thank you
Great job!

Very helpful, easy to follow instructions. I followed them & just adjusted mine perfectly. Thanks.👍
No problem Bob.
My angle adjusting screws were hidden under plates on the front of the hinges but its basically the same system and works a treat !
Thanks mate - my doors have been driving me nuts for about 5 years - This sorted them in 60 seconds - Great video :)
No problem Jase.
Me too, 3 years I’ve been kicking my door open, took me longer to watch the video than do the fix

Thanks so much it looks really easy my doors are well out at the bottom by about quarter of an inch I need to push them closer together at the bottom
The company refused to come back after so many promises then they folded so I thought I would never get them sorted but thanks to you i might get them fixed afterall
***** Yes it is real easy Nick. Al.

So nice of you
Thanks it got me out of a muddle
No problem.
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.
Mine only had one bolt to lose across the hinges... But worked a treat... Thanks
No problem.
Brilliant help thank you
No problem Paul.
Exactly the same hinge as mine! Lifesaver!
Great
Absolute legend, saved me a few quid after and now can use the balcony door freely. Thanks 👊🏼

Hi Dereton33,
First of all, thank you for all of your videos! You have already helped me a great deal around the home, mainly with leaking valves and re-pressurising boiler etc.
Now....
On my Patio Door I have an issue with the 'Top Hung' or 'window Stay' type hinge, it is constantly popping out as all of the thread on the top of the door itslef for the screw holes is gone and therefore the screws wont stay in... any tips?
Before I go paying a lot for a call out I was wondering if you could recommend something I could fill the hole with before re-screwing the bracket at the top of the door? Perhaps some kind of slow hardening putty or filler?
It's a standard white UPVC door - I believe the issue first stems from miss alignment, and the catching of the bottom of the door has put strain on the top hinge over time, leading to a breakage - so I'll be using the tips in this video to ensure it's level again before I fix the top.
Best,
Scott
Yes there is some stuff from a Halfords where you mix 2 tubes together to make metal, once it has set you can drill it and tap it with a thread.
Thanks for this.
Even someone as impractical as me managed to fix a door !
Mark Law No problem. Al.
I need to move the top part of my left door left how can i do this
wish I had seen this today .nice one 😊
Excellent thank you
You are very welcome
Worked a treat 30 minutes patio doors and front doors done thanks very much
One question the reason I think my front door keeps dropping is I am missing 3 of those little screws any idea where I can buy some from
***** I would try a plastics door and window firm, they often sell parts for double glazed doors windows ect. Al.
dereton33 ok will do, thanks for your help and advice
***** It's called a grub screw and you can find them on ebay.
excellent, no more draughty gaps.
Great.
Hiya thanks for these really clear instructions. My door hinges have metal rods in them which cannot be turned with an alen key, any ideas please how to adjust this type of hinge?
+Wendie Sharman Sorry ive no idea on them ones.
+dereton33 you will have to remove the lass and heel and toe the frame. look on here on how to do that
Thanks very useful. Does the information you provide apply to the right as well as the left hand door? For example on the right hand door do you turn clockwise on the bottom hex to adjust the door up and do you turn spanner clockwise to adjust the door out?
Yes it does!
@@dereton33 thanks
Thank you sir
Welcome
excellent - door now sorted :-)
Well done
Hi I have these alen key hols one facing as the one you adjusted in your video and the top one one the opposite side, facing outwards. I don't have any caps just what looks like a metal rod showing at the top and bottom of the hinge. how do I adjust this type of hinge please
iamprog54
Thank you Ai all good now 100%
