Having a problem with my PVC door - the top part of it is not shutting propery. It looks like the top hinge needs adjusting a bit more to the right

Anyone know what I have to do to adjust?

Having come back to my PC and done some more reading it looks like there is a tiny bit on the left hand side of the hinge that can be adjusted by taking off a plastic cap (its so small though the screw/allen hole will be tiny)

I spose the adjustment at the top (the picture with the circle thing) is adjusting it up/down?



Its half glass door - the hinge was messed about with by someone thign morning but they are not here ATM.

You may find being a glass UPVC door that you might have to “toe & heal” (square up) the glass dg unit, or adjust the hinges which is usually carried out with an allen key. By doing a google search you find various sites where the adjustment procedures are both well explained.

Some of these links might help;

IIRC the capping that is on the door comes off and the adjustment mechanism is inside - there should be a white grommet on the left, nearest the glass
