Fantastic video! My grandparents asked me to look at their front door as it had dropped over the years meaning they struggled to open and shut it. After a good hour of struggling to find a way to adjust the height, I stumbled across this video which had all the answers. Needless to say they were over the moon. Thank you!

Hi you probably have 3 hinges on the door. It might help you to find out what's happening if you take one of the hinges off the door. I'd remove say the middle hinge (first making sure that the top and bottom hinges are secure) once you have the hinge in your hand, you'll be able to play with it and really get to understand how it functions. (that's what I did to work out what was going wrong) refit the middle hinge and remove the top hinge and check that out, once you happy that it all functions correctly refit the top hinge and repeated the process with the bottom hinge. then you will know that each hinge works the same as all of the others. You should now have a total understanding of the hinges. if you can’t lift the door (with the appropriate screws loosened off then it could well be that when the hinges were originally fitted, they were badly fitted. for example, imagine the top hinge was fitted such that the bottom hinge was at the lower end of its travel adjustment and the top hinge was fitted at the top of its travel adjustment, then this means you can't move the door up or down because one or the other hinge has run out of travel. It could of course be any combination of hinges that are stopping you from moving up or down. You will have to work out witch are the worst offenders. Again remove any one hinge and try to reset the door. If removing one hinge doesn't solve the problem replace it and remove another, and you should be OK. Once you work out which hinge is causing the problem you will have to refit that hinge either in a lower or higher position to match the others. Good luck . . . Andy

Hi Ben I hope that you are able to free up the tight fixings. Just a dab, (not a spray) of WD40 on the top of the screws can help. Don't soak the whole thing. Leave it to soak into the threads and reapply a couple of times. Use new, good clean sharply shaped Allen keys, not old worn-out keys with rounded edges. If it's still tight try hitting the bottom of the socket screw with a steel punch. If you don't have a small enough punch to fit in the socket screw hole try cutting up an old Allen key (of the correct size) and use that as a punch to shock the screw. Don't try hitting the bent end of the key, you want a strait line bang down the thread. (i.e. some times banging the end of a stuck bolt down into the thread brakes to bond) if it's still stuck try more WD40, let it soak for an hour or more and hit it again. What ever you do don't use worn out socket keys as once you wreck the head of the screw you've dad it!! If you are really stuck, take the hinges off one at a time and work on them in a vice. (assuming there are 3 hinges, you can do that without issue) Good luck. . . . Andy

Great video, our door is a really tight fit and have had to adjust the side movement several times. When the door gets sun on it, it becomes a lot tighter in the frame so I have to make slight adjustments. I've just ordered another hinge because I broke the locking screw. So I wanted to ask if you know of any other hinges that will fit as a replacement to these that have a separate height adjuster? Thanks
@AndyDaviesByTheSea
5 ай бұрын
Hi, no I can't help you with an alternative. What I have found is that once I made the adjustment I anticipate that it should stay good. The rest of the hinge seems to be fit for purpose for a good few years, so I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you search for something like "door doctor" or "replacement door hinges" on the internet, I'm sure that you'll find something suitable. Just make sure you take all of the measurements of the damaged hinge so you know what to buy. Regards . . . Andy

Hi yes to move the door left or right, that is either closer to the lock or away from the lock, you have to undo the hexagon socket screw and then use a 6mm socket to twist the central shaft that runs down the hinge, what you might call the ‘hinge pin’. Watch the video again, start at one minute forty-four seconds and watch until three minutes twenty-five seconds, that covers what you want. Good luck, let me know how you get on. All the best . . .

These hinges suck and any company that uses it deserve just a single star and a bad review.. That being said, I adjusted the door like so: I ordered air wedges of Amazon to be able to do this without back pain. The air wedges cause too much friction to be able to move the door to the left or right. So I followed these steps roughly: 1. Note the adjustments needed to the door (e.g. the top needs to be slightly moved to the frame and the door needs to be raised a bit) 2. Put two air wedges under the door. One as close to the hinges as possible and the other in the middle 3. Take note of the current orientations of the adjustment screws. The more the screw is pointing towards the door, the more the door has been adjusted outwards to wards the frame already. 4. Take all the adjustment screws out. 5. Adjust the bottom of the door to the left-right position that is needed. 6. Start inflating both air wedges at the same time in equal amounts until the door is approximately at the right height. 7. Adjust the left-right of the top hinge to the correct position. Note that this might have move significantly since loosening the adjustment screws. 8. Insert and tighten the adjustment screw on the top hinge. Then do the same for all the other hinges.
