Many thanks for posting this. My catching door had bugged me for about 3 years and thought I was going to have to spend a fortune to get someone to look at it; found your incredibly clear instruction and 10 mins later its perfect. Cheers
You absolute star mate, exactly what I was looking for and fixed the problem I had. Thank you for uploading this- what RUclips was made for; helping others 👍🏻
I’ve had a upvc door that has had to be slammed shut every summer for the past 5 years, following this simple informative video I have just managed to adjust the door myself and now it shuts perfectly again! Thank you!
Always indebted to content like this. Clear, concise & nicely paced. RUclips at its best - normal people making the World just a little better for everyone else. Cheers Fella.
You just saved our bacon. Couldn't even close the door, and at -1 degree its a job that had to be done at 9pm tonight. Can't thank you enough - legend.
What a legend you are, thank you so much for this quick and easy to follow tutorial. We moved in to a new house and have had a gap in the bottom of the door for a month or so now, I’m handy but had no idea how to adjust the door. Watched your tutorial 10 minutes later the door is done and sealed up tight. With winter on its way and temperatures dropping this will save me a fortune over the coming months. Thank you again. Awesome 😃😃😃
Brilliant, thanks! My back door had been getting progressively harder and harder to close, rubbing on the bottom. Watched this and 5 mins later it was all sorted, smooth as butter now :)
Been searching for a solution on my door for months! Mainly because I didn’t know what these kind of doors are called and made it so hard to search the internet. And this is just the video I needed. Thank you. I’m so excited to try this tomorrow! Im watching this now and it’s 11pm 😂.
Absolute legend!! I didn't have the same symptom but the solution was the same, thanks to you I can lock my door now that everything is aligned and in sync.
This video has saved me some £’s, I’ve had to get a whole new locking system which I’ve fitted myself and couldn’t work out why my door wouldn’t lock, now it’s all fixed thanks to this video, top man, thanks for sharing 👏👍
Brilliant! Watched a few videos which would have had me doing all sorts, and yours was the most straightforward and worked a treat. After months of issues I literally fixed it in an advert break.
Thanks for posting this. My back door decided it was no longer going to close at 5pm on a Sunday. I was just about to resign myself to sleeping in the kitchen when I found your video. So simple to follow, and saved me an expensive call out tomorrow!
This video is still helping people out, thanks. I’ve had a sticking shed door for the last 2-3 years and can now finally fix it thanks to this video. I’d but you a beer if I could
Absolutely brilliant thank you for posting your video. Things are tight for us all right now so this advice will save us all some hard earned money to pay for the heating this winter.
Thank you sooo much, my hubby was about to pay someone to come at look and even replace the door as we either can’t open or close it depending on the weather etc so me finding this tutorial has saved us £££. Thanks again
Thanks for this. I've been struggling with this door for years, but the final straw was when I wasn't able to lock it from the outside! I contacted a door and window firm, but of course all they wanted to do was sell me a new door. So I followed your instructions and all is well. Mine is a different kind of hinge cover, it just needed to be unscrewed so you have to use a bit of common sense if your door is different.👏👏👏
Absolutely brilliant video. Clear and to the point. I just adjusted my door and now it closes property AND I can lift the handle and engage the 5 lever locks and turn the key to double lock the door. Fantastic! thanks, keep the great vids coming...........
Thanks a LOT for this, my door was driving me crazy. I really like the step by process at exactly the right pace and your calm manner. Strangely, and good for me, I seem to have the same door as you have 🙂
Thank you. We've had a squint door on our static for a few years. I never got a 'round tuit' until now. Many thanks, I thought we would need a new door.
Useful. I have a door to which I can apply this knowhow. You mention "Phillips screwdriver". At least two of the screws, so probably all, are clearly Pozidriv. These points are not the same as Phillips. Phillips and Pozi came from the same idea, but Phillips drivers slip quite easily if used in pozi heads. Most screwdrivers with interchangeable points come with both. the Phillips ones are usually marked (eg) "PH1, PH2, PH3,..." and pozi "PZ1, PZ2, PZ3,...". One giveaway is the extra narrow grooves set 45 degrees between the main lobes. These are always pozi.
You hit the nail on the head here my backdoor needs this doing and guessing there are hundreds of other people with the same issue! What a great video!
Thank you for this VERY useful clip. My mother in law`s door started sticking since we`ve had the hot weather and i kept getting it in the ear!!!!!!! now fixed thanks to you .....NO MORE HASSLE 😂😂
What a legend! My door is similar to yours, tho I had to unscrew the hinge covers. I looked at several tutorials but only yours made sense from start to finish!
Great video, really helped me out! My hinge covers were slightly different in that, once I unscrewed and removed both screws, I realised I had to slide the hinge cover towards the door handle, which then released it and allowed me to open it to get access to the adjustment screw. Hope this might help some people having the same struggle as I had to remove the hinge cover.
Thank you great video 🙏🏻 just fixed my back door it’s been sticking for ages. I was going to get someone to do it for me. But thanks to your assume instructions I got the tools ⚒️ out & did it myself. Feeling chuffed to bits 😁
Great video that showed me exactly what to do and not call out an expensive cowboy. My double pvc doors are fixed in a wooden outdoor shed used at a local charity . 👍
Thank you so much for this brilliant video. We have been hours trying to get our door shut and we’ve now been able, thanks to you, to sleep tonight! You’re a star x
UPVC lock replacement is similarly simple. Often key cutters will not/ cannot provide replacement keys, as you have " master"...copies not made. Replace the lock,...im sure this lad can do a video of this task. Good man...
It worked like a charm, thank you! Btw, the cross-headed screwdriver from 1:30 is a Pozidriv, not a Phillips one (see extra dents). Although they are mostly compatible, it's good to use the right tool for each type of screw!
Absolute legend. Although my covers were slightly different to the ones in the video the concept was the same and sorted the issue I was having with the door catching. Much appreciated! 👍
Job jobbed! Thank you for this, my door was getting really stiff to open and close, this fix has sorted it right iut. Nice pace and delivery. Thanks again. 👍👍
Brilliant thanks for this 5 mins watching and 5 mins doing and my door now locks. Locksmith said it was 200 beans call out charge alone to take a look 😅
Great thanks, my door tends to catch slightly in the winter months as the house expands and contracts, I didnt realise there was an adjustment possible.
Ok Thanks. Not quite the same door (mine has has plastic blanking plug on the plate cover but I can't see what's inside the hole to adjust! I'll go and see if I can pop it from the back like yours right this minute.Nope that didn't work.I'll need to get that plate off without puncturing the door surface by levering...
Thank you. Didn't see that the covers came off from behind. So I was trying to pry them off from the front! In my case they had a screw in from the back.
Thank you! The door I just adjusted has a T-hinge rather than a flag hinge, so had to loosen a screw on the other side of the cover instead of just popping it off with the screwdriver. Underneath, the workings were very similar, and just had to adjust the depth with the allen key. Now it doesn't catch at the top, and the locking mechanism doesn't jam. Didn't realise it would be this simple.
Many thanks for posting this. My catching door had bugged me for about 3 years and thought I was going to have to spend a fortune to get someone to look at it; found your incredibly clear instruction and 10 mins later its perfect. Cheers
Glad it helped you solve the problem and also some cash 👍

Thank you for this, my Mum finds it really tricky to get out of her back door. I think I'll be able to fix it using this tutorial. Brilliant!!

We can't know everything..... I knew these double glazed doors could be adjusted, but now how. This was very useful 👍🏻
Many thanks for posting this very clear video - it worked an absolute treat and I wish I'd done it years ago!
You hit the nail on the head here my backdoor needs this doing and guessing there are hundreds of other people with the same issue! What a great video!
Glad to be of some help 👍

Waited for man to do this............. eventually did it all on my own! Thank you for such clear instructions.
For a few years I couldn't open the flaps to adjust our patio doors and your video ended my misery. Thank you.

Thank you for a clear instructed video. I have managed to correct my back door and it closes perfectly 😊
Perfect video. Worked first time. Any idea how to do the same with a butt hinge with no obvious adjusters!
Thank you for posting this video, I have now adjusted my french doors and can close and lock them without a struggle
been waiting for a month for the council to sort our door, did it myself in 10 mins. thanks mate👍
Great video that showed me exactly what to do and not call out an expensive cowboy. My double pvc doors are fixed in a wooden outdoor shed used at a local charity . 👍

My door is catching on the bottom. I was just about to ask about up and down, thanks for covering that at the end.

Thank you for this, our door has been catching since it was installed 10 years ago!
Great thanks, my door tends to catch slightly in the winter months as the house expands and contracts, I didnt realise there was an adjustment possible.
Helped me sort a patio door that had a visible gap to the outside where it joined with the other door. Thanks so much!
clear and concise video , im guessig if the top hinge takes 4 turns of adjustment the middle hinge should be 2 ,
Thank you for sharing, a guiding hand is all that is needed sometimes. Thanks again.
Thank you so much I was struggling until I found you all done now closed perfectly 🎉🎉

Fantastic advice & a great clear video of how to adjust a door, i will now adjust my door
Glad it helped
Thanks mate. Saved me a headache trying to figure it out on my own. Much appreciated
Door fixed after months of P'ing about, thanks for an excellent video
Really useful. Some further advice on temperature changes affecting the mechanisms would be helpful.
Great point!
Did I denote a Bristolian twang there? Very helpful video. On yer.
cheers pal, been looking for a decent video on hinge adjustment. yours did the job, both doors now open and close as they should
Thank you! The door I just adjusted has a T-hinge rather than a flag hinge, so had to loosen a screw on the other side of the cover instead of just popping it off with the screwdriver.
Underneath, the workings were very similar, and just had to adjust the depth with the allen key. Now it doesn't catch at the top, and the locking mechanism doesn't jam. Didn't realise it would be this simple.
Glad it helped you as a starting point 👍
Fantastic video sorted my door out after several months of hassle.👍
Thank you very much, door all adjusted and working great, locks as well. Turns out the four screws on two of the hinges were all loose
Glad it was helpful to you 👍
Brilliant, saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you 👌
Fantastic. Thank you very much indeed. Troublesome door now adjusted and working perfectly.
Excellent tip.
OCD me would have cleaned around those hinges before refitting the covers.
Excellent video. Really put my mind at ease to tackle the job. 👍🏻
This is great thanks . What type of hinges are they ? I believe there are 3 different types . Thanks again 🙂
Great advice, sorted my sticking door in jig time. Thank you
Glad to be of assistance 👍
