Once you've identified the problem, you can begin to solve it. There are two main types of uPVC hinges: butt hinges and flag hinges. A flag hinge is comprised of two parts. One is attached to the door sash, and the other part is fixed to the door frame or to an adjacent structure. The hinge components are joined by a pin or rod which acts as the hinge's axis. The sash and the hinge parts are visible from the inside of the door, but when closed the hinges are hidden to give an elegant and clean look inside.

A butt hinge is like a flag hinge, but it's located on the back of the sash and doesn't extend as far as the hinge for a flag. The butt hinge can also be hidden when the door closes to give it a sleek modern, sleek appearance.

Identifying the solution

Due to constant use and being opened and closed, it's quite common for windows and doors made of uPVC to loosen in their hinges. It can make them difficult to open and draughty. Fortunately, it's not difficult to make small adjustments to keep them working properly.

The first step is to identify the kind of hinges on your uPVC doors. There are three major types; Butt hinges (sometimes called a cylinder or pencil hinge), rebate hinges and flag hinges. You can do this by looking at the hinges that are outside the door. You'll notice that the top and bottom edges have a gap. These are where the hinges are installed. There are also screw slots on the hinge plate. These are where you'll be able to adjust the height of the hinge (up and down).

A butt hinge is comprised of two parts, one attached to the frame, and the other is attached to the door's profile sash. The hinge is connected to the pin or rod via a pin. When the door is shut the hinges of the flag are hidden behind and between the door and frame, maintaining a neat appearance inside.

A flag hinge is another type of uPVC hinge that is similar to an old-fashioned wooden door hinge. They are located on the outside edge of the door, and offer a more attractive appearance than the butt-hinges. They are also more flexible because they can be adjusted both vertically and laterally.

Lastly, you can find rebate upvc friction hinges hinges on doors that are older but they are becoming less common in recent years. The rebate uPVC is similar to the flag hinges, however it can be repositioned laterally and in compression.

Before making any adjustments, it's important to check that your door is level. Place an object that is level on top of the door and check for gaps between the door and the frame. If there is a gap at the top or bottom of the door, it is a sign that the door is not in alignment and needs to be adjusted.

Determine the type of hinges on your uPVC doors before you begin. There are three kinds of hinges that include T hinges (flag hinges), rebate hinges (rebate hinges), and flag hinges. Depending on the kind of hinge, there are slightly different methods to make the adjustment. Flag hinges, commonly used on modern uPVC doors, are rectangularly shaped and are named for the fact they resemble flags. They offer the most control when it comes to adjusting the width of a uPVC door, allowing you to move them laterally (side-to-side) and vertically and close them closer to the door jamb, which is known as compression. T hinges function similarly to flag hinges, however the part that connects to the door is in the middle of the hinge. These hinges can be adjusted laterally and vertically, but not as tightly as flag or rebate hinges.

Then, use the Allen key to loosen the screw, or grub screws which control each hinge. To make a vertical adjustment you may need to loosen both the screws at the top and bottom. For lateral side-to side adjustments, you might only require the screw on the door side of the hinge.

After you've made all the necessary adjustments, test your uPVC door to see whether it's now properly aligned in the frame. If not, you might require tweaking the hinges further or replace window hinges them entirely.

Be aware that if you've seen your door not properly aligned over time, it could indicate that the hinges must be replaced. Fortunately it's a straightforward process and is usually covered by the warranty of the installer or guarantee.
