I'm a disabled 58 year old lady. In a new build and for the last year have struggled to lock my back door. Twice I've had people from the housing association out but no joy. This video helped me today to give it a go and my door now locks. I had to rest inbetween doing it and get my breath back but I'm a trouper and I'm not being beaten by upvc! X

I know West Brom are having a mare, but I didn’t expect to see Sam Allardyce giving advice about doors! 😊 - Brilliant Video mate ... huge thanks

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Big Sam says you're very welcome!

[@stuffoflardohfortheloveof]

He can save anything 👍

[@jeremyscott205]

Grabbed an allan key and screwdriver and in five minutes I had fixed the patio doors. Wife was very impressed. Now I can relax for the rest of the weekend.... maybe. So thank you so much for the video and all the brownie points I have earned.

[@theskingym101]

After being quoted 150 quid just for a call out.... this has saved me money and stress and it was easy! Thank you

[@CornyC1]

Many many thanks for posting. Following your easy to understand video here on KZbin, I managed to fix my door in under 1 minute. Saved me a small fortune if I'd called out a door company!

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Great job!

[@nickeinhorn1451]

Amazing. 5 years I have put this off! Now sorted in 30 mins. Much appreciated

[@cmjones83]

Thank you! Yours is the first video (of many) that explained that the hinge cap has to slide and click before you can remove it. Was doing my head in but I've fixed my door now!

[@Twopan]

Very clear and thankfully, compared to many other KZbin videos, brief and to the point. About to correct my patio doors which have been out of alignment for years!

[@onetwohook]

Thanks pal. Just saved me a bit of time and money with a clear 5 min fix for my French Doors. Nice one

[@simonlloyd7557]

No messing about, no stupid zany intros, no pointless and annoying music, just good, solid information. Thank you.

[@bernadettevaughan]

Absolutely perfect instructions to solve the problem with my pvc door. Thought it was going to cost me a fortune and had to leave it unlocked for a couple of nights. Thank you so much for your help.

[@davidtaylor4975]

Excellent video, exactly what I was looking for! Door now closes easily. Many thanks!

[@oldgreybeard2507]

Excellent. Just sorted the conservatory door. The wife is happy happy

[@pauldirac808]

Cheers mate that was just what I was looking for .👍

[@atitnac598]

My doors are of a different type,but watching this I was able to get the general idea and adjusted it without a problem - Thank you. 👍Also,when one turns the Allen screw,it's really good to see the door moving ! 😊

[@spammyjenkins87]

cheers for posting this. i couldn't pop the cover off and I never thought to peek at the other side of the hinge for any screws. can finally close the front door again without slamming it.

[@LeprechaunxWWWx]

No nonsense explanation, the pencil idea a Great part, the best video that assists me 👍

[@BaileyIng]

Perfect video. Straight to the point with clear instructions, no fluff! Thank you so much for the video, much appreciated!

Great video 🎉🎉 Massive help in getting my patio door back in alignment following a gust of wind catching it and spraining the hinge

[@lloydy11]

Big help mate! Been struggling for months with our door and it was only getting worse over time. Legend 👍

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

[@juanpablo-vn1xo]

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

Perfect, thank you. Outside door was catching quite badly and I was able to sort it using your help

[@RopeyrhymeLetts]

Very good, easy to follow instruction video and the job was completed in a super rapid manor. Highly recommended!

[@SuperAdz87]

Amazing help!! Mine were sprayed 18months ago so they would not pull towards the window. Used a flat head to jimmy in between the hinge cover and hinge gave it a little tap and worked as above!!

[@garyrooksby]

thanks for the clear and helpful advice. It worked a treat for me!

[@lfmarch]

my friend, you are the best !! very clear and helpful.

[@MB-rt5bx]

Very clear instructions and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@Orion40000]

Hello! I jut wabted to say a huge thank you for this video. I kind of knew the principles, but having it demonstrated in such a clear way was absolutely key to rebalancing my own patio doors. Mine have a vertical adjustmennt in the hinge as well, but you gave me the confidence and uderstanding to finally tackle the job. Cheers!

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

[@Nick.Brough]

patio doors have been a bit dodgy almost since they were installed a few years ago. Last week couldn't lock them any more. watched your video and 15 minutes later they're better than new. Many thanks!

[@ianthompson9201]

Nice and clear. Thanks. Now I can put right what the builder got wrong!

[@DIMTips]

Excellent video. I used a similar method and it worked a treat

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Great and helpful, thankyou

[@kadensmike8190]

Thank you for going into detail. It took me less than two minutes to adjust our back door.

[@kadensmike8190]

Okay tried this a second time and the door now won't open because the lock mechanism is caught on something. I tried adjusting it back slightly but that didn't work. It would help if you did a thorough explanation on moving the door up and down, and from side to side.

[@davepacker9649]

Just helped me out, cheers bud

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Happy to help!

[@allanmorris6324]

Legend... thanks for this video. Been scratching my head trying to figure out how to adjust these doors. What do the 2 Allen key Bolts do under the hinge?

[@dondada6310]

Ohkeh!!! Thanks bud!

Thanks. 👍

[@ririk4191]

Have you got a video for a French door that closes fine but there’s a gap at the bottom!? Ours is driving me mad it’s letting in so much cold air ! Just need an idea on how to adjust it and fix it! X

[@Travel.awesome.together]

What screw would you tighten to make a door a bit more firmer ?, when there’s a bit of wind the left door will stay open, but the right door will slam shut with the slightest of wind

[@SukhwinderSingh-ww1vc]

Thank you sir👍

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Most welcome

[@grahamjackson3388]

Clear and to the point. Helped me out massively. Thank you.

Is this the same for metal hinge covers? Trying to adjust mine but don’t want to damage it!

[@TheTrueKailash]

thanks

[@bryansschoolofmotoring1148]

Brilliant help me fix my door

[@susansaid4276]

Thank you so much for this video cos my patio door sticks at the bottom can’t close it properly what screw drivers do I need or is it an Allen key?

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Glad we could help! Generally Allen keys should do the trick!

[@Jackjack530]

Boom.... just like that. Shows the public exactly how to do the job of the people they're advertising to train 🤣🤣

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

There's a whole lot more to it than that. On our courses we also teach all kinds of entry techniques to all different kinds of doors which of course, we're not allowed to show on the internet. If you'd like to hear more on our courses please let us know.

[@cardiffpicker1]

He didn't show you how to do it properly though

[@dystom6968]

On my flag hinge there is up/down adjustment through a cap on the top, when is that required to adjust?

[@ameerahme]

Hello is this the most common double door glazing type of hinge adjustment, are their other forms of hinges on double doors that you could cover? Thanks

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Yes this is the most common, we'll try to get round to covering more soon!

[@newry123]

how do you adjust if door is springing on the hinges,,cheers

[@jamesmccann8127]

👍👍

[@FingerBangGaming]

I have the same problem but my door has four hinges, not three. What would you recommend for how many turns to adjust each hinge?

[@TrainlocksmithsCollege]

Unfortunately you may need to do a bit of playing around with it. Try and stay to the same rule of "the top hinges will need to turn more than the bottom ones" but some guess work may be required. Hope this helps!
