Hi,

i have a set of regular opening upvc patio doors atthe rear of my
house and it appears that the hinges need some adjustment.

Looking from the inside you can see the door isn't hanging level and
there is a pronounced gap around the top adge where you can see
daylight at the right angle.

Looking at the hinges from the outside they appear to have a 4mm hex
key adjusting screw of some sort, i've tried winding it in somewhat
with a little sucess.

Is there any method to this adjustment? and is there any further
adjusting i can do with them?

I've got a door which has 2 adjusters on each hinge - requiring different
sized Allen keys, just for good measure.

One (at the top) appears to rotate the hinge pin in an eccentric fashion -
so turning it moves the door both parallel to and perpendicular to the door
opening. The other one (at the side) just moves the door towards or away
from the frame (parallel to the opening).

I found that I needed to set the top adjuster first, to move the door in and
out to the correct position relative to the frame flange - without worrying
about what it did in the other plane. And *then* use the other adjuster to
get an even vertical gap between door and frame.

Hope this makes some sort of sense, if your door is like mine - it's easier
to do than to explain!
