How to adjust uPVC front door hinges up and down

Watch this video to see how to adjust uPVC door height.

If the door has dropped or needs to be higher (or lower) in the frame you can adjust the screw that controls the vertical movement of the hinge.

Use an Allen key and start with a 1-2 full rotation and then tweak from there.

Tools Needed: 4/5mm Allen Key

This just saved me at least £100 getting a builder to do this simple job for me. Top drawer mate.

Everest fitted our windows and doors, absolutely shocking workmanship!
Get a trusted local guy in is my advice.

[shadegate]

Top advice. Took longer to get the Allen keys out than it did to do the job. Thanks a lot!.

I can only echo the rest of the comments. No mess, just what I needed to hear, one 6mm allen key later and the door shuts easily again and there is no 1mm gap at the top. Thank you!

Brilliant help, door kept rubbing to the bottom, fixed it quickly thanks to you

Fantastic video. Allowed me to adjust my conservatory door with a 4mm and a 5mm key. Thanks again

I love this. No messing. Just the facts.

Great you tube. My patio door hinges have a grub screw. I dont know whether this is to clamp the adjusting screw or to allow oiling.

Thanks for that. Our door needed to be lifted slightly so it would catch first time without the need to lift the handle to use the deadlocks.

key wouldn't turn. Door locked shut. (Eventually) Ah the door's dropped down with the heat. Adjusting the hinges worked a treat. Thanks a lot. Puts yellow pages back on the shelf

I think you should open the door before you do that, and also simultaneously push up underneath with your foot to avoid unseating the seals and stripping the screws

Fully adjusted.
Most difficult part getting the Allen key in and stay in.

[joekhan]

My front door is catching slightly at the top when you close it.
How can I adjust it.
Thanks

Hi great video can you tell me why my patio door won't lock? When i open the door and lift the handle up i can lock it with the key but when i close it and lift the handle it won't lock any ideas

Complimenti la mia finestra pende a destra dove trovo la vite x metterla in orrizontale . Grazie da Venezia

Do some of the hinges take the Allen keys from the top? Mine look exactly the same but I can’t get an Allen key in the bottom, when I shine a torch and look up it doesn’t look like it takes an Allen key either. If I pop the white top cover off the hinge there’s a plastic bit that takes an Allen key but it pushes the door in and out not up and down ?

[thefridge]

My door is warped so the top isn't closing right. Is there a way to pull this in tighter

Hi I have a squeaky door hinge on my upvc patio door. Can you help me?

[TomTomTomTom]

Mine is very squeaky, new doors. I've adjusted the hinges but whatever I do one of them always squeaks
