Adjusting the accessories of plastic doors

If you notice that there is something wrong with your new plastic door, but it is still under warranty, then it's better not to touch anything, to invite the specialist of the firm that installed them. But, if this is not your case, since the door was installed independently or the warranty period managed to pass, then you yourself will have to adjust the fittings yourself.

Tool

To adjust the hardware for the plastic door, you must have:

  • two screwdrivers: one flat, the other cross;
  • set consisting of hex keys: 2.2-5 mm;
  • pliers.

The most common problems occur with the balcony door.

Adjusting fittings for balcony plastic doors

how-to-adjust-plastic-balcony-door

The balcony door, as well as the windows, is responsible for keeping heat in the apartment, so that if the fittings are poorly adjusted, this function will not be performed. To begin, most sensibly, it is necessary with an establishment of the reason of bad functioning of the door leading to a balcony. We will do this:

      • first check the seal condition with the door open;
      • we study, in which places on the sealing material are visible traces of compression, and they will be in the side where the door has moved;
      • proof that you knowingly believe the presence of shrinkage, is the bad work of the handle. Pay attention to how it works. If you need to apply additional force to turn it, and the handle does not turn completely, the tongue can not coincide with the groove, it shows shrinkage.

Put the door in the normal position

Suppose there is such a thing: the door when opening or closing clings the threshold. There is sagging under the weight of the glass unit. Even if the glass is 4 mm thick, and the double-glazed unit is a double-glazed window, then this is a decent weight, and if you, insecure, ordered not 4 but 6 mm, then the door will surely sag. What to do? Of course, act:

      • The door is opened;
      • remove the decorative stub if there is one;
      • take the hex key 4 mm and adjust the upper loop, tightening the screw;
      • restore the normal verticality of the door. Turn the screw clockwise;
      • we close the door.

There is one more option:

      • go to the lower loop and release it from the decorative cap. The upper screw will be accessible for adjustment;
      • adjust the screw at the upper end of the loop. The movement is the same: clockwise;
      • we perform door check.

Note: for some types of door hardware, the screws through which the adjustment is not hexagonal, but with an asterisk, so the key is also needed.

If there is a battery near the balcony door, then under the influence of constant heating, it can get a lateral displacement horizontally. The same will be observed with some mechanical deformation of the door. To work in this case it is necessary with a lateral screw:

  • we arm with a key and twist lateral adjusting screw;
  • the sash will go to the lower hinge side;
  • if this action did not give a positive result, then repeat the procedure with the upper loop.

On the need to adjust the tightness of the door to the frame, says the fact that the draft is clearly felt. Procedure:

  • you need to adjust the eccentric pins located on the door leaf itself;
  • using a key, rotate the eccentrics until we provide a normal clamp.

In this case:

  • if the stud occupies a perpendicular position with respect to the profile, then the fitting of the door will be greatest;
  • position of the trunnion parallel to the profile - the fit is the least.

Note: The needs to be adjusted twice: before the onset of cold and in spring. And: in the winter press - more dense, in warmer times - weaker. If you rotate the adjusting key clockwise, the clamp will be strengthened, against the hour's move - to weaken. With a strong clamp, the seal wears out more quickly.

Repair handle

This kind of accessories for balcony plastic doors, like the handle is repaired and adjusted easily. The most unpleasant thing that can happen to her is shredding.

  • The screws on the handle are usually covered with decorative plastic caps. They must be removed;
  • we take a screwdriver and tighten the screws, eliminating the play;
  • If this does not solve the problem, inspect the handle carefully: it may have cracked its housing. Nothing can help here, except how to buy a new pen.

If you really need to replace the handle, then:

  • put the handle horizontally;
  • we twist the fasteners;
  • new handle put on the same place.

Will not prevent to remember : the door needs to be shifted to the side opposite from the place where the leaf constantly pushes the seal.
