UPVC DOOR HINGE BROKEN, How To Replace With New Style Flag Hinge

[@danodell3079]

Thanks for this, I’ve just saved my Inlaws quite a few pounds by doing this instead of them buying a new door, they were quoted £950 for new door!!!! This way cost me £27!! BRUCIE BONUS👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Top man. My door hinge isn't broken, but they are the old style and do not allow adjustment. Now either my door was not fitted correctly or over time has become misaligned. The old door hinges in your video look very similar to my ones. Those flag hinges look like the ideal solution to solve my problem. Cheers for that information. Nice demonstration.

[@aaanton11]

They are a great solution, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I actually took the doors (both front and back) found what made them tick and have negated all crackling and catching.... well almost all - I'm back to watch your video again and perhaps some others to see if i could find some more insight. TLDR thank you!!Here's to your channel growing tenfold you deserve it for the comprehensive and hands on guides!

@@Adventuristic89 Thats ok mate, what hinges do you normally use? and what jig?, and do you recomend upgrading any old type of upvc door hinge with a flag hinge if its broken?. thanks.

[@Adventuristic89]

@@ObbardProductions the hinge I use are called Trojan patriot flag hinge 2002. Can’t say I know the name of the jig but you should be able to find one if you can get a supplier of the hinges they will no doubt have a jig too.! Changing the hinges should be ok to do! Maybe take a photo of it & look up your nearest manufacturer of windows & doors good chance you could wrangle a hinge off them & some advice to fit it too! Hope this helps.

[@tompirozek4490]

As a service engineer I retro fit flag hinges quite often andf I can tell you you've positioned the hinge on the frame in the wrong place, yes the door swings but if you look at the video at 18.57 you will see the door sash is touching the hinge backplate already so you cannot adjust the door laterally to the left anymore in case you needed to, your mistake was using the same holes in the frame from the existing hinges, you should have drilled two fresh holes for the locating pins 5mm further to the left

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@mikehopkins4040]

Really good ,easy to follow instructions. The only thing I did'nt get was at the end you screwed up something at the bottom of the hinges?

[@aaanton11]

That was the adjustment of the height of the hinge there is a blanking Cap as well that goes on the end maybe it was that Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@StewartSamsung]

Good video - thank you. Some years ago, I started to replace old hinges (same as in the video) on a 830 wide exterior door, with a lower steel-reinforced panel. On drilling for the first flag part of the middle hinge, I realised that the door plastic did not have a steel inner. I was therefore concerned that the 4 screws (plus two pins) per hinge would not securely hold the weight of the door in the long term, and start to sag. I backtracked and was able to adjust the old hinges more to get a good fit. In your experience is screwing into door-plastic sufficiently strong? It looked like is is, in the video.

My door is still going strong, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Very informative. I have exactly this issue but the uPVC repairers I have contacted will not retrofit flag hinges claiming they carry too many problems. Am I just choosing the wrong people or are there some doors which will not accept these hinges? My door has chamfered edge with an angle of 30 deg and is the reason why I cannot find a replacement butt hinge.

[@aaanton11]

most old doors can be retrofitted, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@harryhorse3]

Really helpful video. Was wondering, when you fit the flag to the door, you mention using two shorter screws and two longer screws. Do you recall what sort of lengths were you using? Thank you!

Really informative and I appreciate you showing the whole process. I am interested if these are the strongest type of hinge security wise? I am planning to upgrade the hinges and locks to make it harder to spread the door or force the hinges.

I am really impressed with these flag hinges a massive improvement on the old ones, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻🛠

[@garydavies2906]

EXCELLENT, but you should have shown how to adjust the door sideways, the other thing is that this hinge has a squeeze adjustment and can be bought in 3 sizes dependant upon the thickness of the door profile, 16mm, 19mm and 22mm

I have a question given the fact that I have had training albeit by the fire brigade for roof ladder access... Why would you remove the new middle hinge to then replace the top? ... the brigade expressed the opinion always have as many points of contact to keep stability and safety? By removing the new middle one are you then not relying entirely on the lowest hinge?

Im a caretaker at a nursing home and they have 4 of these doors but really f'ing wide and old - all of them have dropped and one of them the top hinge has snapped exactly like the hinge you was holding at the start but snapped on the thin part connecting at the middle...ive ordered a replacement like you did without watching this but I have a feeling it won't fit and even then I wont be able to adjust the door as its dropped and leaves a gap at the top handle side and the lock wont lock unless you lift the door as its pointing diagonally in the lock case...my question is the hinges used to connect to the side of the door but now you put the hinge on the face of the door...will the face of the doors plastic be enough to hold the door? The doors ill be working with are wider and heavier and all have 4 hinges. So you dont need to take the door off even if its dropped a bit as hopefully you have adjustment after they are fitted you just fit them one by one then adjust them all? thanks for this video mate they would have needed new doors otherwise. Ill try and post a followup vid of me fitting them but would appreciate any advice. Like I said its pretty urgent as one has completely broke and is stressing all the other hinges, I've had to prohibit the use of the door for use only in an emergency but the staff there dont care and will prob still use it for smoke breaks...sorry for the long comment.

[@aaanton11]

Yes the flag hinges are the way to go, they will hold the weight no problem, good luck, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@soniaguest8779]

If you use some shims to allow some space on the underside of the door, ie wood or plastic packers, make sure it’s the same amount as level to the frame and paddle the doors up to slide your shims in when in the locked position. When all the hinges are fitted, use the paddles again to push up the bottom of the door to pull out your shims and it will return to where you set it. Then adjust if required. Can always Repair upvc doors, so many people say you need a new door when you really don’t. Great video 👍🏻👏🏻
