Most people in apartments or houses have plastic windows and doors. Over time, during operation, almost every owner of the plastic door there is a question of how to adjust the mechanism of the balcony door.

Of course, you can call specialists who quickly eliminate the problem and adjust the mechanism, but not always there is such an opportunity - to come to the challenge immediately. Most often have to wait a few days. Therefore, it is advisable to independently master these skills and, if necessary, having a minimum set of tools, adjust the loops of plastic doors with your own hands.
About plastic door
When work is made on installing a new plastic door, experts must immediately perform adjustment work on site. For a while, the work of the door will not cause complaints, but over time, considering the fact that the door is heavy, it can slightly "sit down" and will close badly.
Despite all the recorded questions when buying a door, its excellent quality and a proven firm that will fulfill the installation of the door, it is advisable to attend when applied and make sure that you really provided such a service.
After the adjustment of the plastic door loops is completed, you must pay attention to the following:
- The door frame must be tight pressed to the box throughout the perimeter.
- Check the door mechanic: the door should be easily open and closed. If it opens or closes with an effort, creak, then this means that the adjustment is not fulfilled to the end.
- To check the vertical door, you need to use the construction level.
- Open the door, but not completely, but to half, and look, it will open (closes) it is arbitrarily or not. This testing must be carried out under the condition that there is a complete absence of wind and draft. If the door is adjusted by the rules, it must remain immovable.
How to determine the door clock density
These knowledge will help not only check the work of specialists, but also to determine possible deviations in the work of the mechanism.
If the door closes tight, or approaching it, you feel a strong air flow, it suggests that it is time to complete the setup.
To check whether the door to the box is well pressed, you need to perform such a test:
- Take a sheet of paper (do not fold!).
- Paper a sheet between the door frame and the box.
- Door close tightly.
- Pull the edge of the sheet on itself, pull it out, paying attention to how paper is drawn with.
- Perform action throughout the perimeter door.
If on multiple areas the paper is removed easily, then the door fit is fine. If somewhere you make efforts, this means that the density of the fitness is broken.
You can see the saving of the door: Take an ordinary pencil and outline open sash throughout the perimeter. The lines should be located in parallel to the edge of the door box if the deviation occurs - adjustment is necessary.
Identifying other troubles
One of the common problems of the inlet plastic door is:
- the lower navigation (its part) clings the edge of the door frame (part of the threshold). This testifies to the provision of a sash that begins under his own weight. This is due to the fact that the larger mass of the door flap takes on the glass package, and if double double glazed glass with glass thickness is more than 4 millimeters, then the loop will weaken under weight, and the door sash will begin to shift;
- leaf touches the middle frame. The reason - the lateral displacement of the sash due to the weather conditions (temperature changes), or other factors. In most cases, such a displacement is eliminated by adjusting the input loops plastic doors;
- flap is pressed against the frame is not tight, but because of the seal extends under air flow. It is necessary to adjust the clamp door;
- staggering handle.
Adjusting the door
Before starting work, and adjust the plastic door hinges, it is necessary to acquire such tools:
- screwdriver: normal, flat and Phillips;
- hexagonal wrenches of different diameters;
- gasket set.
Adjust the sagging door.To remove this fault, it is necessary to direct the door leaf up and slightly shift it to the loop above. This is done as follows:
- You must open the flap by turning the handle (not the airing!). When a hex wrench (adjusting to 4 millimeters) rotate the screw at an end portion near the upper hinge leaf.
- To pull the leaf, it is necessary to perform one or two turns clockwise.
- Close the flap.
- With the loop, remove the protective cap located at the bottom. This is necessary in order to adjust the top screw.
- Rotate the screw on the top hinge, slightly lifting the flap. It must twist clockwise.
- Check whether the "walking" free door leaf. If tight - again turn the loop.
Attention! Hardware plastic doors can be made under the hex keys or a special, a "star." This nuance is necessary to consider to buy a key at work, and if possible in advance.
Adjusting grazing in the middle. If the flap touches the frame in the middle of the door, then you need to shift it to the loops. First we need to "lead" the flap down to a loop to insert the key in the screw on the side of the flap and pull.
If Realized steps do not resolve the problem, then you need more time to adjust the upper loop of a plastic door. This will be enough to eliminate grasping frames.
How to adjust the pressure. The pressing force to the frame of the door is carried out by means of locking elements. They are located inside a sash and have an eccentric shape. Pins must be adjusted with a special key and pliers.
Adjusting the door clock is enough to spend in winter and summer. And for the winter period, it is necessary to install the clamp strong, and on the summer - weaker. Critting the leaf to the frame from the loop side is needed by adjusting screws of the upper and lower hinges of the door.
Horizontal hinge adjustment
Loops for plastic doors are adjusted both horizontally and vertically. Consider horizontal adjustment:
- You must open the door and unscrew from the upper loops (two) screws. Unscrew screws need a hex screwdriver (3 millimeter).
- Then close the door and remove the lining - adjustment screws are located beneath them.
- In order to avoid the door skew, the long screw is twisted in the upper loop a little stronger than in the bottom.
- To ensure a uniform door shift to hinges or in the opposite direction, you need to remove the pad from the loop located below, pull it out and weaken all the horizontal screws that are available in the door hinges.
At this photo, you can see the location of the loop with a decorative lining and a loop for plastic doors without a lining.
Vertical loop adjustment
The vertical adjustment is performed when it is necessary to lift the door or lower it. To figure out how to adjust the plastic door vertically, you need to find a screw for adjustment in the end of the loop. It is located along the loop axis. By the way, some models of plastic doors, including entrance, are equipped with a closed screw system. Such a screw can be hidden under the plug, which must be previously removed.
In order to adjust the door, you must use a hex screwdriver to 5 millimeters. By rotating a screwdriver clockwise, the door must be slightly lifted, and when the rotation of the screwdriver comes counterclockwise - the door to omit.
This photo shows a screw adjustment of the plastic door vertically.
