Hi all,
I've currently got an issue with my front door and wondering if anyone would be able to provide advice.
The door doesn't seal properly when closed, and there is a very small gap. The door needs to be moved "inwards" further into the frame. After some searching around online, it seemed that I need to adjust the compression on the door hinge.
The hinge looks like a normal 3D hinge for upvc doors, where you would adjust the compression using a screw/bolt at the top of the hinge, like in this picture: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h174/Newcon/DHI11-5.jpg
However, I've popped off the screw cover at the top of the hinge, and there doesn't appear to be a screw underneath. Instead it seems to be a piece of solid black plastic.
Am I missing something? Is there a chance that I have some basic hinge that doesn't have the compression feature (but looks like a normal 3D hinge)?
Door Seal:
Hinge:
Under screw-cover
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks very much!
