    I've had a draught for around two years and finally got my finger out and did this. Took two minutes on two doors and I am now wondering how much money on heating I've wasted. Oh, well, I know now! Thank you :)

    My adjusters are in the door frame, can you explain the way to adjust that type of fitting please 👍

    Thank you so much for uploading this video. One of my doors wouldn't shut today, one of the rollers wouldn't move past the latch. Seeing the bit of the video about adjusting the cam of the roller helped me fix it - adjusted it by 1/4 turn and all was good again 🙂

    Thank you so much for directing me to the problem area on our French doors. My newly acquired laser thermometer showed the UPVC frame was chilling down to below 5° whereas elsewhere the temperature was nearer 15°. The bottom latch was the worst with a stick just over 2mm! I adjusted all three and hey presto - the visible gap was closed down. Thank you so much. It was -6° outside this morning and our dining room now feels noticeably warmer after the fix. Excellent!

    Thank you, Everest for providing this video. Perfectly presented, in easy-to-follow language - and worked a treat on my back door in under a minute! I only wish I’d found it before the two wild storms we had this last week.

    Great help! Have tightened up my exterior doors and my windows using this method. Wishing I'd known this a few months ago during winter. Front door hallway is a lot more comfortable since. Thank you.

    Thank you so very much for putting this information up. Our door has been allowing a gale in on windy days - but not anymore. You’re ace 👍

    Great help. Our back door doesn't close at the bottom so leaks whenever it rains. I shall have to make the adjustment you showed.

    Hi. Great video. Thanks you. You said that once these screws are out they're hard to get in. How hard? For some reason, both screws on my door have come off. Thanks.

    Thanks - What about draughts getting past the seal on the *hinge side*?

  • @djjones11
    @djjones11 3 года назад

    Thanks. My cam adjustments were on the frame of the door (the receiving end), not on the door itself but I still used the same technique and it fixed my problem.

    This video is really helpful and very easy to do few screw adjustment to fix door draught. I can already feel the difference! I should have seen this video much earlier and could have save a lot of money on my heating bill - Many Thanks :-)

    Like several of the people posting below, I'm wondering what to do if the door seems to fit, but cold air gets in through the hinges.
    (I do mean the actual hinges themselves, not the whole hinge edge of the door).

    I still have a gap at the top of the door when adjusting the cam in. Is there any other way of bringing the top corner in?

    What do you do if its not the top but the bottom of the door that needs to stop rattling or coming away ?

    The top corner of my door is still drafty even after the adjustment, it’s minutely better but during this cost of living crisis we literally can’t afford to put on the heating and with draughts we’ll be burning even more money if we do, and we can’t afford a new door, and legally can’t change it because our building has to decide whether it updates the windows or not, it’s just dumb

  • @jimmclay2353

    I still get a draught near the handle because there is no adjuster there to pull it in.

    • @ianrobinson4435
      @ianrobinson4435 3 года назад +3

      Possibly the draught excluder needs replacing. I did mine, an easy cheap job.

    • @raraavis5604
      @raraavis5604 3 года назад +1

      Have a look at the frame - the adjustable parts are sometimes there, rather than in the door.
