UPVC doors draught question

[Dannyhack]

hello everyone!

I’m hoping someone can offer some advice.

I have just moved into a new property and noticed there is a significant draught coming from the top and bottom of my French UPVC doors which is making the room very noisy and cold.

I have attached photos of the doors as a whole as well as the adjustments points.

The draught is at the top and bottom and gets worse and worse towards the middle of the door.

I have also posted a photo of the bottom of the door from the outside, which you can see has a huge gap where water is getting in.

I have adjusted the door into winter mode and that hasn’t made much of a difference. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dan

If you can still lift the handle with the cams in 'winter mode' lol then you need to check whether the cams are actually going into the cups on the other door. It looks like the cup keeps on the other door (the slave door) have been moved outwards too to gain compression, with the cams and keeps adjusted for maximum compression I'm surprised the door still locks. Next you need to check that the cams are actually going into the cups or whether the doors are set too far apart and the cams are now not doing anything, from experience I suspect this is case, go outside and close the door and lift the handle up, put your foot against the bottom of the main door and push, it shouldn't be able to be pushed in, try pushing the top with your hand, it shouldn't move, if you can push them in then the cams aren't engaged in the cups, door need adjusting towards each other with the hinges but thats another thing completely, one step at a time

Can you try and get some pictures of the wearing surfaces of the cams/cups that should come into contact with each other when the door is locked?

For example you can see this one is enjoying a good contact with its mate:

Also, is it just my eyes or are the gaskets in the mostly-grey picture absolutely goosed?
