How to quickly check if a uPVC door is sitting out of adjustment and needing readjusting

This was just a quick video as requested by a viewer on how to check if a door needs adjusted, this is a simple effective method and all you need is a pencil and a good eye. Hope it helps and I'll follow up soon with adjustment videos. (I may do a more detailed explanation but this video was done for quickness)

Apologies for the camera skills :-/

The basis of this method could also be used on other types of doors or windows.

Thanks for watching. DGPS

The easies check is the welds on the frame and door should line through, if not it needs adjusting or it's not been fitted square

Need to be shown how to plumb the door once fitted. IE gap at the bottom tight as the top when lined up against the frame before closing.

On my uPVC door the hooks, roller cams and lock sits fine... The only problem is it the catch doesn't latch if that makes sense. The thing that pushes in with the latch...

So for the door to be closed and not locked i have to lift it up for it to stay closed before i even lock it

This is great but try this on my brown door that's right up against the wall...

So how do I adjust it if it is too low?
