How is a plastic door regulated? How to adjust the plastic door on the balcony? Setting the door leaf pressure

Today, plastic balcony doors are becoming very common. They are easy to use, do not require constant repainting, are simple and quick to install. Like any other movable structure, the door mechanism requires adjustment after prolonged use. Any doors tend to loosen because they are constantly opened or closed, put on ventilation.

A plastic door will protect the apartment from any weather conditions.

There is an option to call the master or specialists who installed the structure, but this is not always possible, especially when there is no time to wait, especially if the warranty period has already expired. Otherwise, you can solve the problem yourself.

A plastic door does not require intervention if:

  • the sash does not move, it is tightly pressed against the profile of the box;
  • does not move on its own when open.

As soon as you notice any deviations, you do not need to shelve this problem. Call urgently the master who will adjust, or do it yourself by carefully reading the instructions.

In order to repair efficiently and efficiently, you need to know exactly what caused the malfunction.

Types of faults

Before you adjust the plastic balcony door, you need to identify malfunctions in the functioning. The main common faults include:

Broken door handle
  • doors sag. When closing the balcony door clings to the plastic threshold. The reason may be too heavy construction, which is shifted down;
  • the handle wobbles. The problem may appear due to the frequent opening of the balcony;
  • the sash is not pressed tightly against the frame, therefore, a draft is felt;
  • lateral movement of the sash, at which the middle of the frame is touched. As a rule, adjustment of loops is required. A possible factor in the appearance of a problem may be an insufficiently well-insulated balcony, as a result of constant temperature changes.

How to eliminate trouble?

By adhering to clearly step-by-step instructions, you can solve all problems without any problems. To work, you need a hexagon, several types of screwdrivers (Phillips and flat). These tools should be enough, you may need others.

Get rid of sagging doors

If the lower edge of the frame is scratched when the door is closed or opened, this indicates that the sagging sash needs to be adjusted. is horizontal and vertical.


Door pressure adjustment

For horizontal:

  1. Open the door wide to the turning position.
  2. We turn the screw, which is located in the end part of the sash, near the hinge at the top. With a special hex wrench, we make 2-3 turns clockwise.
  3. To get to the top screws, remove all plugs that can cover the desired holes.
  4. Adjust the door mechanism as follows. Under the cap we find the screw, turn it clockwise. We check whether it closes freely, if necessary, tighten it again.

Vertical:

  1. Try to lift the door evenly to find the screw. It is located along the hinge axis in the lower end. In some balcony doors, the screw may be covered with a plug, which must be carefully removed.
  2. By adjusting the screw clockwise, we raise it, and if we turn it counterclockwise, we lower it.

Adjust door handles

You can tighten the handle on plastic doors like this:


Scheme of turning the door handle
  1. We find the fixing screws located under the plastic cover, tighten them. Before you get to the screws, you need to slowly turn the cover at a right angle.
  2. When the handle is tight or difficult to turn, you can lubricate the lock fittings with an acid- and resin-free material.
  3. If the handle is completely broken and requires urgent replacement, then unscrew the screws, remove the old handle and fasten the new one.

Push the doors tight

Does the apartment feel cold, does it pull strongly from the balcony? So, the problem is with tight pressing.


Door adjustment scheme
  1. On the sash there are locking elements that will help solve the issue with the clamp. Using pliers or a wrench, rotate the elements to the required pressure.
  2. Experts recommend repeating the door pressure adjustment a couple of times, in accordance with weather conditions. In warm seasons, the pressure should be loosened, but in autumn and winter, it should be pressed more tightly.

Eliminate grazing in the middle of the frame

When you feel that the sash is scratching the frame in the center, then perform the following steps:

  1. In order to move the sash to the hinges, we lower it to the hinge, which is located below. Then with an adjusting key, inserting it into the side screw, we attract it.
  2. When this action is not enough, you should do the same for the upper loop.

Having qualitatively adjusted, we forget about problems with plastic doors. But to achieve long-term trouble-free operation, you need to know and take into account some important points.

How to avoid problems in the future

  1. Order doors only from well-known trusted manufacturers. As in any competitive market, low-quality materials can come across that fail very quickly.
  2. When choosing a product, make sure that all mechanisms fit plastic balcony doors. A modern fitting kit can withstand 100-130 kg, this weight is optimal for such a design.
  3. A special compensator ("microlift") will not allow the sash to sag under its own weight. Especially, this element is necessary for two-chamber plastic double-glazed windows, which have a large weight and size.
  4. A special additional tire is installed in order to protect against sagging of the door and jamming of the sash.

Replacing a wooden balcony door with a plastic one is a popular and very effective way to make your home more comfortable and warm. But all PVC structures have one feature: even the highest quality windows and doors have to be adjusted with a certain frequency. If you feel that something is wrong with your door, you should not rush to the phone in a panic to call an ambulance in the form of a team of locksmiths. With a careful study of the instructions, adjusting plastic balcony doors is not difficult.

When should a door be adjusted?

PVC balcony door adjustment should be done immediately if:

  • to open the door you have to apply excessive force;
  • when closing, the door leaf clings to the door frame;
  • the handle of the lock turns tightly or, conversely, is too loose;
  • when the lock is open, the door does not hold in the closed position;
  • even a tightly closed door lets in cold air from outside.

All these signs are, so to speak, critical. They indicate that the door is already in a state of disrepair. It is possible that in this case a simple adjustment will not work and some parts will have to be repaired or changed. This can be avoided if you adjust the plastic balcony doors with your own hands and do it in a timely manner. Here are some ways helping to identify implicit violations in the position of the door leaf:

  1. Open the balcony door and leave it in that position. If it spontaneously tends to slam or swing open (of course, in the absence of wind or drafts), it's time to start tuning.
  2. Take a simple pencil in your hands and take a position on the side opposite to the side of the door opening. After closing the door, outline its perimeter, using the edge of the door frame as a ruler. Now open the door and take a closer look at your own art. If the lines you drew turned out to be parallel to the edges of the door leaf, then everything is in order. If not, then there is a slight bias and it's time to prepare the tools.
  3. Take a notebook sheet or a fragment of a newspaper page and slam the balcony door so that the paper is sandwiched by it. Now try to remove the sheet, paying attention to the effort you had to make to do this. Thus it is necessary to check the tightness of the clamp around the entire perimeter of the door. Ideally, the force with which the paper had to be pulled out will always be the same. If, on different parts of the door perimeter, the sheet is pressed unevenly, then it is necessary to adjust the clamp.

Self-adjustment of the PVC balcony door should also be performed with the onset of cold weather or, conversely, with warming: in the first case, the door pressure is increased, in the second, it is weakened.

Tip: Loosen the pressure for spring and summer should definitely, because when tightly closed (winter mode), some parts of the door block wear out faster.

Instructions for adjusting the plastic door

First of all, you should take care of the availability of such tools:

- screwdrivers with cross-shaped and flat profile;

- pliers;

- a set of hex keys (for some models, you will need keys with an asterisk profile);

- PVC gaskets;

The design of the door attachment points in PVC door blocks provides for the possibility adjustment of its position in three directions:

- horizontally (the gap between the door leaf and the hinge post is adjusted at the top, bottom or immediately along the entire height);

- vertically (the height of the door suspension relative to the door frame changes);

- frontally (the density of pressing the door to the sealing elements of the doorway is adjusted).

Access to the adjusting screws can be obtained by removing the decorative panel from the hinge with the door open (using a 3 mm hexagon).

Let's take a closer look at all three adjustment options.

Horizontal direction

For the movement of the door leaf to the right or left (toward or away from the hinge post), a long adjusting screw is located horizontally under the decorative trim. If the door when closing clings to the box from the side of the latch in the middle part or along the entire height, the screws should be turned clockwise one or two turns in all three hinges. If the lower edge of the canvas farthest from the hinges touches the threshold, you need to tighten the screws only in the upper and middle hinges.



Vertical direction

The vertical adjustment screw on the hinge is responsible for moving the door down (turning the screw counterclockwise) or up (clockwise). This adjustment is used when if the lower edge of the door rubs against the threshold when closing or opening or it closes normally, but dents are visible on the upper or lower seals. Use a 5mm Allen key to rotate the screws. The same key, but 2.5 mm, will be needed to adjust the position of the strikers at the top and bottom of the door frame. For this operation, in addition to the hexagon, you will need a flat screwdriver. The main striker plate will also have to be displaced, armed with a Phillips screwdriver.


Front Direction (Pressure Adjustment)

Before adjusting a plastic balcony door, it is important to know that the density of pressing the door to the frame in different models is regulated differently:

  1. On the vertical end of the door on the opposite side from the hinges, there can be three eccentrics that must be turned using the appropriate tool.
  2. Some models have a trunnion on the door hardware, which must be turned with pliers. For maximum pressure, it should be given a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door block, for a minimum - parallel.
  3. Sometimes the clamp can be adjusted by the frontal offset of the striker. For this purpose, there is a hexagon head screw under the bar.

Adjusting screws can not always save the situation. It happens that a defect exists, but the corresponding screw is already in its extreme position. In this case, use another glass door adjustment method. Carefully prying with a chisel, it is necessary to remove the glazing beads holding the double-glazed window. Then, PVC gaskets are installed between the double-glazed window and plastic using special blades in the right places (depending on which defect has to be corrected). By correctly selecting the location of the gaskets and their thickness, you can change the geometry of the door and thus eliminate the skew. When installing the glazing beads in place, they should be carefully knocked out with a rubber mallet.

Tip: When removing the beadings, mark them so that you can then install each exactly in its place. Often, manufacturers use different types of glazing beads to fix the double-glazed window from the inside and outside.

There are two problems with plastic door handles:

1. Handle is hard to turn or not fully

Most often, this problem is caused by the incorrect position of the door leaf, and after adjusting it according to one of the methods described above, the lock mechanism should work properly. If the adjustment does not help, the lock will have to be replaced.

2. The handle is loose

If the trim installed at the point where the handle is attached to the door is rotated 90 degrees, access to two screws will open. Tightening them with a Phillips screwdriver will fix the defect.


Seal replacement

If the door is used skewed for a long time, it can deform. In this case, it must be replaced with a new one having a similar cross-sectional shape. The old seal is removed from the groove with a screwdriver, which is then cleaned of dirt and adhesive residue. When installing a new seal, make sure that it is not stretched. Before mounting the profile, the groove must be smeared with glue, especially in those places where the ends of the seal will be located.

Prevention

In order for the plastic balcony door to go longer without adjustment, equip it with two very useful devices: microlift and opening limiter. The microlift holds the weight of the door in the closed position, preventing it from sagging. The opening limiter prevents the hinges from loosening when the door rests on the jamb (when fully open).


Do not hang bags with heavy contents on the door handle (especially an open one). The plastic door itself is heavy and the extra weight can cause it to sag quickly.

Periodic lubrication with a silicone compound will help extend the life of the seal and make it more ductile and susceptible to deformation.

Do not forget, also, to regularly lubricate the lock. If its handle turns with difficulty, users begin to put pressure on it (and at the same time on the door) with all their weight, while pulling the door strongly towards themselves. In such circumstances, distortion is inevitable.

Adjustment of plastic balcony doors video

In this section, we invite you to watch a video on the topic of our article "Adjusting plastic balcony doors: do-it-yourself setup instructions." You will see how the procedures that we described above are performed in practice.

Reading time ≈ 4 minutes

Long-term use of a plastic balcony door leads to an imbalance in its mechanisms. As a result, the door closes poorly or stops closing at all. You can correct the situation by contacting the company that was involved in its installation. However, not always a specialist will be able to visit you after the application, as a rule, you have to wait a few days. If time does not endure, you can do the work on your own. After all, adjusting the plastic balcony door does not cause great difficulties.

Balcony door adjustment goes in several directions:

  • vertically;
  • horizontally;
  • sash pressure adjustment.

Vertical adjustment

To eliminate sagging, which does not allow the door to recline, leads to touching the threshold when opening or closing, it is necessary to adjust the sash in height, that is, move it up. Work is carried out with the lower loop.

  1. First, the loop itself is released from the cap.
  2. Insert a screwdriver into the hole in the upper end of the hinge and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to raise the door. If it needs to be lowered, then the rotation is performed counterclockwise. Usually 2-3 turns are enough. On the video you can see how to do it right.

If such an adjustment of the plastic doors of the balcony is carried out independently, then after each stage it is necessary to carry out a check to make sure that everything is done correctly. The sash should move freely, there should be no problems when opening, and when closing it should go in without interference, but tightly.

It must be remembered that not all PVC windows and doors have adjustment holes made for a hexagon. Sometimes you need to use the key - an asterisk, you can see how it looks in the photo. It is advisable to purchase such a key in advance, and if you need to adjust the plastic balcony doors with your own hands, then it can be done using this device.

Horizontal adjustment

With temperature fluctuations, deformations can occur that do not allow closing the balcony door. The sash just rests on the mechanism and does not go further. When using mechanical pressure on the door, it will be able to close. But the use of force when opening or closing doors is undesirable, as this provokes further deformation.

To eliminate this problem, the plastic balcony door is adjusted, namely its hinges. To adjust, you need an H4 hexagon.

  1. The end of the screwdriver is inserted into the side adjustment screw, which is accessible from the lower side surface of the lower hinge.
  2. The screw begins to tighten to pull the sash to the hinge.

So the sash can be moved to the right - to the left at a distance of up to 1 cm. If this is not enough, then you must repeat all the steps with the upper loop. If the adjustment of the PVC balcony door is carried out correctly, then the sash will close freely, without interference.

Balcony door pressure adjustment

To prevent the sash from letting in cold air from the street, the balcony door pressure is adjusted. To do this, use the locking elements available on the sash. Usually they are made in the amount of 4 pieces. Almost always, the adjusting clamping screws are made as eccentrics, that is, the hole for the hexagon has some offset from the center and its rotation allows displacement in both directions, obtaining the optimal clamping level. By turning such an eccentric, you can either increase the pressure or weaken it.

Sometimes clamping screws have a different design. If the screws go through a special hole, then in the central position, the pressure will be minimal. Moving around the axis will change the pressure level. Therefore, in order not to be mistaken with the method of adjusting the pressure, before starting work, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the fittings of the door that you have installed on the website of the window manufacturer.

To check whether the adjustment has been made correctly, close the door by inserting a sheet of thick paper or a banknote under the top of the sash. The correct level of pressure is indicated by the tightness of the bill clamped by the flap, it should stay in the place where it was clamped, and be pulled out only after applying some effort. Using this simple technique, you should check the entire perimeter. If the paper holds well everywhere, then everything is done correctly, and winter winds and drafts are not terrible.

Adjustment of plastic doors should be carried out approximately once a year. Timely correction of the position of the sash in the opening will help to avoid its irreversible deformation and extend the life of the entire structure.

Video of adjusting the plastic balcony door


The majority of the population has plastic windows and doors in their apartments or houses. Over time, during operation, almost every owner of a plastic door has a question of how to adjust the balcony door mechanism.

Of course, you can call specialists who will quickly fix the problem and adjust the mechanism, but it is not always possible to come to the call right away. Most often you have to wait a few days. Therefore, it is advisable to independently master these skills and, if necessary, having a minimum set of tools, adjust the hinges of plastic doors with your own hands.

About the plastic door

When work is being done to install a new plastic door, specialists must immediately perform adjustment work on site. For some time, the operation of the door will not cause any complaints, but over time, given that the door is heavy, it can “sit down” a little and will not close well.

Despite all the issues taken into account when buying a door, its excellent quality and a proven company that will install the door, it is advisable to be present during the adjustment work and make sure that you really received such a service.

After the adjustment of the hinges of the plastic door is completed, you need to pay attention to the following:

  1. The door frame must be tightly pressed to the frame around the entire perimeter.
  2. Check the door mechanism: the door should open and close easily. If it opens or closes with effort, a creak, then this means that the adjustment has not been completed to the end.
  3. To check the verticality of the door, you need to use the building level.
  4. Open the door, but not completely, but halfway, and see if it opens (closes) arbitrarily or not. This testing must be carried out under the condition of complete absence of wind and draft. If the door is adjusted according to the rules, then it should remain motionless.

How to determine the tightness of the door clamp

This knowledge will help not only to check the work of specialists, but also to determine possible deviations in the operation of the mechanism.

If the door closes tightly, or when you approach it, you feel a strong flow of air, then this indicates that it is time to make adjustments.

To check if the door is well pressed against the box, you need to perform the following test:

  1. Take a sheet of paper (do not fold!).
  2. Lay the sheet between the door frame and the frame.
  3. Close the door tightly.
  4. Pull the edge of the sheet towards you, pull it out, paying attention to the force with which the paper is pulled out.
  5. Perform the action around the entire perimeter of the door.

If the paper comes off easily in several areas, then the door seal is good. If somewhere you make efforts, then this means that the fit is broken.

The sagging of the door can be seen like this: take an ordinary pencil and outline the open sash around the entire perimeter. The lines should be parallel to the edge of the door frame, if a deviation occurs, adjustment is necessary.

Troubleshooting Other Problems

One of the common problems with an entrance plastic door is:

  • the lower shutter (part of it) catches the edge of the door frame (part of the threshold). This indicates the sagging of the sash, which bends under its own weight. This is due to the fact that a double-glazed window takes on a large mass of the door leaf, and if a double-glazed window with a glass thickness of more than 4 millimeters is installed, the hinges will weaken over time under weight, and the door leaf will begin to move;

  • the sash catches the frame in the middle. The reason is the displacement of the side of the sash due to weather conditions (temperature changes) or other factors. In most cases, such a shift is eliminated by adjusting the hinges of the entrance plastic doors;
  • the sash is not pressed tightly against the frame, and air flows from under the seal. It is necessary to adjust the door clamp;
  • wobbly handle.

Door adjustment

Before you start work, and adjust the hinges of the plastic door, you need to purchase the following tools:

  • screwdriver: regular, flat and Phillips;
  • hex keys of different diameters;
  • gasket set.

Adjust the door sag. To remove this malfunction, you need to point the door leaf up and slightly shift it to the hinge located above. This is done as follows:

  1. It is necessary to open the sash by turning the handle (but not for ventilation!). Using a hexagon wrench (adjustable by 4 mm), turn the screw in the end of the sash near the top hinge.
  2. To tighten the sash, you need to perform one or two turns clockwise.
  3. Close the sash.

  1. Remove the protective cap from the loop at the bottom. This is necessary in order to adjust the top screw.
  2. Turn the screw on the upper end of the hinge, slightly lifting the sash. You need to turn it clockwise.
  3. Check if the door leaf “walks” freely. If tight, turn the loops again.

Attention! The fittings of plastic doors can be made for hex keys or for special ones, in the form of a "star". This nuance must be taken into account when working and, if possible, purchase such a key in advance.

Adjustment of grazing in the middle part. If the leaf clings to the frame in the middle of the door, then it is necessary to move it to the hinges. First you need to "take" the sash down to the hinge, insert the key into the screw located on the side and pull the sash.

If the steps taken do not fix the problem, then it is necessary to adjust the upper hinge of the plastic door again. This will be enough to eliminate frame clinging.

How to adjust clamp. The force of pressing the door to the frame is carried out with the help of locking elements. They are located inside the sash and have an eccentric shape. The pins must be adjusted using a special key and pliers.

It is enough to adjust the door pressure in winter and summer. Moreover, for the winter period it is necessary to establish a strong clamp, and for the summer - weaker. Press the sash against the frame from the hinge side with the adjusting screws of the upper and lower door hinges.

Horizontal hinge adjustment

Hinges for plastic doors are adjusted both horizontally and vertically. Consider horizontal adjustment:

  1. It is necessary to open the door and unscrew the screws from the upper hinges (there are two of them). You need to unscrew the screws with a hex screwdriver (3 mm).
  2. Then close the door and remove the lining - there are adjusting screws under them.
  3. To avoid warping the door, a long screw is tightened in the upper hinge a little more than in the lower one.
  4. To ensure a uniform shift of the door to the hinges or in the opposite direction, you need to remove the trim from the hinge located below, tighten it and slightly loosen all the horizontal screws in the door hinges.

In this photo you can see the location of the hinge with a decorative trim and hinges for plastic doors without a trim.

Vertical hinge adjustment

Vertical adjustment is made when the door needs to be raised or lowered. To figure out how to adjust the plastic door vertically, you need to find a screw for adjustment from below at the end of the hinge. It is located along the axis of the loop. By the way, some models of plastic doors, including entrance ones, are equipped with a closed screw system. Such a screw can be hidden under a plug, which must first be removed.

In order to adjust the door, you must use a 5 mm hex screwdriver. By turning the screwdriver clockwise, the door needs to be slightly raised, and when the screwdriver is rotated counterclockwise, the door should be lowered.

This photo shows a vertical adjustment screw for a plastic door.

Today, the choice of owners of apartments and houses often falls on a plastic door. It is used as an entrance, interior or balcony. In any of these options, the plastic construction looks interesting, attracts attention and guarantees good performance. However, in winter, plastic doors require special care - you need to transfer them to winter mode.

Attention! You can transfer the work of doors for the winter yourself. The owners are wondering how to adjust the sash so that it keeps the heat in the room and excludes drafts. Adjustment is easy, but it is recommended that you first find out what winter and summer mode is.

Arrangement of fittings on the PVC door leaf

Characteristics of plastic structures and methods for opening them

Repair in a dwelling involves not only the replacement of floors, ceilings, or the dismantling of partitions, but also the installation of new windows and doors. This step is responsible and difficult, but it is necessary. Residents of our country acquire plastic windows, which manufacturers give different sizes and characteristics. But the main function of plastic windows and doors to the balcony is to give the room as much beauty, warmth and light as possible.

During the repair process, due attention must be paid to the installation of plastic windows. Note that their price is acceptable for each person, and the operational capabilities are high. Plastic windows and doors have different ways of opening. There are designs in which the sash is rotary, such models are the most common. There are also windows with a hinged sash, they are convenient to use when ventilating the premises. There are also models of windows and doors with a tilt-and-turn opening method, and such windows are easy to clean.

The only important nuance during the repair period is the competent installation and adjustment of all elements of plastic windows. Only professionals who are engaged in the installation of these structures can perform such work. Therefore, do not save on paying employees, as windows are installed once and for a long time, and everything must be at the highest level.


Adjustment and correct adjustment of fittings

Useful information about PVC doors

It is recommended to purchase a plastic door exclusively from trusted companies. Only brands that have proven themselves in the market guarantee a long service life of the device. In this case, it is preferable to entrust the installation work to professionals. However, if you have the skills and relevant knowledge, you can do the installation yourself. The initial adjustment of the structure is also important.

Even at the stage of acceptance of the door, look at certain indicators. Pay attention to the material, fittings, including locks and handles. Each of the elements requires professional adjustment. In particular, focus on the following:

  1. Normal closing and opening of doors. No difficulties should arise. To check the verticality and horizontality of the installation, use the building level.
  2. Tight pressing of the canvas to the door frame. It should be dense and uniform around the entire perimeter.
  3. Arbitrary opening or closing of the door must be completely excluded.

The process of adjusting the PVC fabric in case of failures in its initial setting

If everything is in order, then the door is of high quality and you can enjoy its operation. Of course, do not forget that the door needs to be adjusted from time to time. Twice a year it is transferred to winter or summer mode.

When is door adjustment needed?

Often people notice a problem when it is already running: there are drafts, the door closes or opens poorly. These are already problems that have become the result of previously unnoticed situations. In fact, you can see all the shortcomings of operation at the initial stage. It's much easier to fix the problem here.

There are many different ways to see the shortcomings of the door. One of the simplest helps to determine the weakening of the web pressure on the box. To do this, you need a piece of paper. It is clamped between the box and the door frame. After that, the sheet is gently pulled and, if this is done with difficulty, then everything is in order with the door clamp. Such a check should be performed along the entire perimeter of the structure. If malfunctions are noted, they will have to be eliminated. With the help of improvised tools, the pressure is maximized.

The problem may also lie in the subsidence of the canvas. The door in the closed position is circled around the perimeter. The pencil lines should correspond to the edges of the door frame in the open position of the sash. If deviations are fixed, you will have to adjust the position of the sash.

Horizontal adjustment: operation algorithm

Horizontal adjustment is required when the door sags due to its own weight. Jamming of the handle can also become a characteristic manifestation, when the crossbars of the mechanism do not fall into the grooves intended for them. As a result, the structure opens with difficulty, and drafts are observed. The following algorithm will help to cope with the problem, switching the door to winter mode:

  1. Open the sash.
  2. Remove the screws from the top hinges.
  3. Close the sash.
  4. Remove the pads and unscrew the horizontal long screw.
  5. Inspect the screw for damage. If they are missing, screw it back in, twisting it harder in the top loop.
  6. Remove the trim from the bottom hinges.
  7. Adjust the operation of the lower hinges by twisting or loosening them for an even sash movement.

The main possibilities to adjust the sheet of metal-plastic

Vertical door adjustment and pressure adjustment

It may be necessary to adjust and adjust the door structure and vertically. Here questions arise, how to adjust the sash in order to transfer the product to winter mode. To do this, find a screw, which is called an adjusting screw. Usually it is located at the bottom end of each of the loops. To adjust it, use a traditional hexagon, suitable in size. Depending on the direction in which the screw rotates, the sash will lower or rise. Clockwise movement contributes to the rise, counter-clockwise - lowering.

Additionally, the clamping force is regulated using a locking pin, which is available on any canvas. On it is a serif-indicator, which is weakened or tightened, depending on the need.

Attention! The adjusting screw is often hidden behind a plug. This is important to consider when trying to adjust the design.

Exterior pvc door

Now you know how to independently configure the doors for the winter mode of operation. The customized version of the design is easy to adjust later, the handle works properly, and the product itself opens and closes easily, without letting in the cold. If you do not fully understand how to switch plastic doors to winter mode, check out the video below. It will accurately and clearly illustrate how to transfer plastic products to the "winter" or "summer" mode. After getting acquainted with the video, switching the door to winter mode will be easy for you.
