Thanks Derek for your video it has even been confirmed by my double glazing company as OK. I have successfully adjusted my new french doors. You save me £40 plus VAT for a man to come out and make adjustments on the frame

[@dereton33]

Glad it helped!

[@paulmartindale2897]

After a year of banging the door shut I have watched this video and discovered how simple it was to fix. Door closing bliss. Thank you.

[@dereton33]

+Paul Martindale No problem

[@ChippyGaming]

Thank you so much for this, my doors have been doing my head in and I had no idea they were this easy to fix

[@dereton33]

No problem 👍

[@mrblack61]

Ive finished diying some french doors and going through the adjustments, this helps much squaring the doors to each other. Cheers D

[@dereton33]

Great

[@sharonfrazer6543]

Brilliant, thank you so much. You have saved us money and made our house secure again. Mine was slightly different but similar enough to try the technique. I used a spirit level to check, as soon as it was level, it locked again fine. Very proud of myself for trying and eternally grateful to you.

[@dereton33]

You're welcome! All the best Sharon.

[@janecohen567]

2 hex keys and 2 minutes' work. Sorted! You sir, are a lifesaver.

[@dereton33]

No problem 😊

[@matthewbrooks1589]

More helpful videos like this are needed on KZbin. I didn't know about the hidden 5mm hex to actually raise the hinge, couldn't work it out. Thank you sir.

[@dereton33]

No problem!

[@007graeham]

What's to dislike about this video? It just saved me an £80 call out charge from a locksmith. Two quarter turns on each of three hinges et voila! We now have smooth locking doors again. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the clip.

[@dereton33]

Graeham Smith No problem. Al.

[@philjones9900]

Going to try it tonight when I get home from work. Looks a doddle! I'll let you know how it went.

[@dereton33]

Ok phil.

[@jayg4667]

My doors been scraping for over a year was thinking about buying new ones then seen this video and can't believe how easy it was to fix thanks for the video

[@dereton33]

No problem Jay.

[@ianpardoe3879]

WOW, that easy, I have a back door not shutting for ages. One video on and boom!!! one of many jobs done thank you

[@dereton33]

No problem Ian.

[@ianpardoe3879]

dereton33 ok, slight update, it’s not worked, it won’t latch so I shut the door and it won’t shut properly without lifting up the handle, any ideas or other videos

[@brianwalker1152]

You just saved me £80 for a call-out, thanks very much

[@dereton33]

No problem 👍

[@traceycoles8312]

I've used this video twice now with amazing results both times. Thank you

[@dereton33]

Great job!

[@MrMunni]

Thank you. This saved me from constantly bashing the door against the frame.

[@dereton33]

You're welcome!

[@J4Z666]

Thanks mate - my doors have been driving me nuts for about 5 years - This sorted them in 60 seconds - Great video :)

[@dereton33]

No problem Jase.

[@jimglodkowski2990]

Me too, 3 years I’ve been kicking my door open, took me longer to watch the video than do the fix

[@chrisblackwood5633]

Not quite the same configuration as my doors but your description and instructions helped me to work out mine. Thanks.

[@dereton33]

No problem Chris.

[@joebaggley8169]

Cheers, mine was sticking on the top for ages, put up with it for a year but you have helped sort it! Cheers, great videos

[@dereton33]

Glad it helped

[@suewilly100]

Thank you so much for the clear explanation. I've just fixed our door and completely credit this video for showing me how.

[@dereton33]

You're welcome!

[@tonycooke6197]

Brilliant! Just what I needed to know, clearly explained. My doors will lock again now and the house is secure. Thank you very much.

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@georgeanastasi1676]

Thanks for that. Had to put up with family slamming back door to close it for ages! Took me 10 minutes to fix .

[@dereton33]

No problem George.

[@antitheist7453]

Cheers dude, spent far too long trying to work this out

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@Boraknikov]

Yes, helped me out too - mine had torx headed screws that I adjusted upwards ( clockwise ) This enabled the door locking mechanism to work properly in this hot weather that otherwise expanded the striker plate restricting the hook from entering it fully. Good presentation video.

[@j8rtUfh3evz]

Excellent, I have the same style of hinges on my French doors. Job done and saved myself some money not calling someone out for a 2 minute fix!

[@dereton33]

No problem BrianR.

[@nickbaker5001]

Thanks so much it looks really easy my doors are well out at the bottom by about quarter of an inch I need to push them closer together at the bottom The company refused to come back after so many promises then they folded so I thought I would never get them sorted but thanks to you i might get them fixed afterall

[@dereton33]

***** Yes it is real easy Nick. Al.

[@NickiShea-v3y]

Perfect video. Informative, to the point, has got the job done and saved me a load of money too. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the help, worked well. Nice picture of the Seven Sisters on your PC, by the way.

Used to visit there a lot when I lived in Kent. Lovely spot.

Fixed. Thanks Buddy!

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@stephaniehart9479]

Thanks - doors all sorted - brilliant !

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@rockywr]

I have the small ones like this but the doors width is smaller - double still though. I can loosen the small allen keys but the Allen key to raise is not a 9 ..... it's one I don't have typical. To raise the door though as it's catching on the bottom are you turning the Allen key (bottom) so that it's away from you to the outside -- -it's hard to differentiate your clockwise -- better to say away from you or towards you would be easier at that angle ? cheers.

[@garystuartwicks6322]

Cheers fella, got me out of a pickle. Much appreciated.

[@dereton33]

No problem Gary.

[@boomstick6732]

[@WilliamNuttall-c6w]

Thanks for this. 👍

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@ocubex]

If the key is not turning the locking mechanism, do try WD40 first. Worked a treat in my doors.

[@dereton33]

Thanks.

[@davidrghendy]

Just what I need to adjust the sticking door. Quick question though. Do I need to loosen the two little hex screws if just adjusting in/out nut?

[@dereton33]

Yes .

[@dereton33]

No problem. Regards, al.

[@dereton33]

Welcome

[@wendiesharman7452]

Hiya thanks for these really clear instructions. My door hinges have metal rods in them which cannot be turned with an alen key, any ideas please how to adjust this type of hinge?

[@dereton33]

+Wendie Sharman Sorry ive no idea on them ones.

[@SteelCityDJ]

+dereton33 you will have to remove the lass and heel and toe the frame. look on here on how to do that

[@marklaw1238]

Thanks for this. Even someone as impractical as me managed to fix a door !

[@dereton33]

Mark Law No problem. Al.

[@paultjoneill2901]

Brilliant help thank you

[@dereton33]

No problem Paul.

[@barkingdave4308]

Excellent thank you

[@dereton33]

You are very welcome

[@nickbaker5001]

Worked a treat 30 minutes patio doors and front doors done thanks very much One question the reason I think my front door keeps dropping is I am missing 3 of those little screws any idea where I can buy some from

[@dereton33]

***** I would try a plastics door and window firm, they often sell parts for double glazed doors windows ect. Al.

[@nickbaker5001]

dereton33 ok will do, thanks for your help and advice

[@xad9057]

***** It's called a grub screw and you can find them on ebay.

[@pogohatman]

Thanks man, job done .

[@dereton33]

You're welcome!

[@NyallMonkton]

excellent - door now sorted :-)

[@dereton33]

Well done

[@thecomingman1591]

Thanks very useful. Does the information you provide apply to the right as well as the left hand door? For example on the right hand door do you turn clockwise on the bottom hex to adjust the door up and do you turn spanner clockwise to adjust the door out?

[@dereton33]

Yes it does!

[@thecomingman1591]

@@dereton33 thanks

[@SueIdeSmith]

Thank you! Our doors had dropped and we could not shut one of them easily. Problem solved.

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@idranoel]

Hi, Can you tell me what brand are those hinges? I may have to buy them and install them on my doors to fix the unevenness. Thank you!

[@dereton33]

Sorry I do not know. There is no ID on them.

[@mattlamb1880]

Great video. Well explained. Thank you

[@profjcknowles]

My hinges need adjusting up but I think they are at the maximum already. Is it complicated to move the hinge (or the door on the hinge). Thanks

[@dereton33]

In a nutshell, Yes.

[@jimcaldwell20]

Jonathan Knowles Another way to raise a door which has dropped is by toe and heel method. There is a video on KZbin which explains. Good luck

[@joecampbell6486]

Thanks very much 👍

[@dereton33]
