Today, many in search of comfort and heat for their home prefer to replace wooden windows and doors to plastic. There are many advantages in such designs, but there is a certain feature: after some time, PVC products require adjustment. If you felt that the doors or windows began to close less tightly or demand for this serious effort, it means that it was time. If the warranty period has not yet come to an end, the easiest to call the master who will do everything quickly and free. Otherwise, you should not panic: adjustment of plastic windows and doors yourself - the task is quite sat.

When is the adjustment required?

An important point: windows and doors PVC have a similar mechanism (except that the first allow one more degree of opening), therefore, in the future, all instructions will be given on the example of windows. In the case of the balcony of work, it is identical.

Understand that urgent and urgent adjustment is required by the following features:

• the window sash clings to the frame;
• opening-closure is associated with significant effort;
• the handles are broke out or turn too tight;
• the windows pass the outer air even in a closed state.

If the window does not open or closes, then it is necessary to adjust its mechanisms

The mentioned signs show that the window is in an extremely launched state, so it is possible that some details may require serious repair or replacement. In order not to bring the case to such an outcome, preventive measures can be taken.

Determine whether they are needed, as follows:

1. Operate the door or window. If in the absence of a draft of the sash closes or open independently, it means that repair and adjustment is required.
2. Circle the entire sash in the closed state by contour, and then open it. Compare the lines and edges of the window opening. Ideally, they must be parallel. Even the most insignificant breakdown is recommended.
3. Take a sheet of paper or newspaper. After shut the window so that the leaf is between the sash and the frame. Now, if you pull it out without effort, it means that a small adjustment will be required. Ideally, efforts to extract paper should be the same, in what place this sheet is neither.

Adjusting the seasonal modes allows you to adjust the operation of window mechanisms in the most optimal way.

Finally, the adjustment of plastic windows is produced in the offseason: it is trying to strengthen the clamp by the winter, to weaken. Such adjustment helps to avoid the rapid wear of individual parts of the closing mechanism.

Tools and basic adjustment mechanisms

For work, you will need to prepare the following tool in advance:

• pliers;
• screwdriver Set;
• pVC gaskets;
• set of hexagon and "stars" keys;
• roulette.

The main bolts, with which the windows and doors are adjusted, are shown in the figure. For access to some, it will take to remove the decorative plugs.

Adjusting the knob

First, consider the faults associated with the handle (window or door - the principal difference is not here), and the ways to eliminate them.

Repair of the discharged handle refers to the discharge of the simplest. Under the hand is a special decorative plug. It's enough to pull it on yourself and turn around the turnover. You should do it with your hands, as otherwise you can scratch the material. A pair of bolts that need to pull a bit are hidden under the plug.

Bolts fixing the handle are under a decorative plug

Similarly, a complete replacement of the handle is performed: unscrew the bolts under the plug, carefully remove the handle and insert a good one in its place. It will remain fastening fasteners.

Most often, the problem of the jammed handle is solved by banal lubrication of the mechanism. It is made as follows: First, the handle is removed, after which the mechanism is cleaned with the help of a vacuum cleaner. It remains to lubricate it. The optimal option will be a can with a comfortable tube, which will help reach all difficult places.

If the handle turns tangible tightly, you should configure the clamping mechanism. For this, there are special trumps from the end. This adjustment of plastic windows and doors will be described in more detail below.

Adjusting the clamping power of windows and doors

Rubber used as isolation and sealing can over time it may lose volume. As a result, gaps are formed, because of which not only heat suffers, but also noise isolation. A similar problem arises due to deformation caused by temperature differences in winter and summer. Often, the seal is changed to solve, but actually the design of the fittings allows to eliminate the slots without any replacements.

The key elements are small cylinders that are located on the side of the window or balcony door in the slots of the plugs. They are called pin or eccentric. Right opposite them in the frame is the mechanism for which they engage. To adjust the pressing force, you need to configure or pinches, or a presser mechanism - everything depends on the fitness model.

Hercules or eccentrics are responsible for the degree of pressed sash to the frame and may vary depending on the manufacturer

In order for the sash to be pressed so much, the oblong part of the eccentric rotates towards the outer surface, to enhance - towards the internal. The adjustment method varies from the manufacturer of accessories, but the principle is common: there is a special slot for a key or screwdriver. In some cases, it will take a bit of a slightly removal of the pin with the help of pliers. It is necessary to act extremely careful - there is a risk of damage to the mechanism.

In some cases, the cylinders themselves are not amenable to the configuration - in this case, it remains to adjust the position of the response. In such an accessory, it is attached with a pair of bolts. It is necessary to weaken them a little and after moving the hook in the right direction.

Adjusting canopies

The following belongs exclusively to the windows with a fluffy system (it helps to drive a window for a small ventilation). On the door, this system is most often installed.

Before proceeding with the setup, you will need to remove the decorative platband on the mount. There are several bolts on the mount itself - it is them used to set the position of the sash with respect to the frame. To begin with, you should pay attention to that bolt, which is located perpendicular to the glass plane. The design is configured when the windows are in a closed state. Adjustment is made by a hexagon key - it rotates to the left-right to achieve the desired location.

Adjusting the upper canopies is carried out by twisting bolts with scissors system

Not ordinary loops are used to fasten the top of this design, but a special system known as "scissors". Those who want to get to the tuning bolts will need to open the window. Next will have to act practically to the touch. On the side surface at an angle to the insulation, a clip is located, which plays the role of the blocker. After clicking (clips, a slightly spring) you need to install the leaf into the ventilation mode. If everything is done correctly, it will hang on the "scissors" and the lower awn. It will only be left to adjust the pressed bolt (its location is most easily evaluated by photo). The configuration process is exactly the same as in the case of a TACF.

The edge of the window sash or door hurts the frame

You can encounter such a problem if the windows are often in open condition: the fastening of some parts of the accessories weakens or they themselves are deformed. Critical damage cannot happen, but the problem is solved using the position setting. The easiest way to look at the fittings of the manufacturer logo and find a detailed guide on the official website. However, there are a number of general rules:

1. If the sash is overwhelmed by the handle side at the bottom, it is lifted towards the top mount.
2. If it concerns the upper part, it is rotated towards the lower canopy or completely lowered down.
3. If it hits in the area of \u200b\u200bthe handle, the flap is shifted towards the canopy.

Special hexagon head bolts are responsible for adjustment. They are on the system "scissors" and at the bottom of the canopy. If a balcony door twisted, everything will be more complicated - it is additionally equipped with closers, which will have to adjust in parallel.

The height of the sash and the movement of the lower part horizontally adjust the bolts located on the lower canopy. You can get to them by removing the platbands. The key is inserted into the part - the required bolt is hidden in its very depth. The sash rises when rotating to the right and lowers if you rotate left.

To the sash does not hurt the frame from below, you must twist the bolt on the lower canopy

Adjusting inclination occurs similarly, but another bolt is used. The desired is located at the very bottom, it is located in parallel to the shed itself. Manufacturers have provided two ways to get to the desired bolt. From the side of the sash to the bortal, it is easier to approach if the sash is fully open. Otherwise, the second option is preferable. The tuning bolt also rotates right or left to move the lower part in the same direction.

The adjustment of the mechanism is carried out by turning the bolt by or counterclockwise

Finally, you can move the top with the help of a bolt that is on the mechanism "scissors". You can only get about it if you fully open the window. It is possible to find the desired hole from the side - it is slightly drowning. Next, all the same - turn the bolt for or counterclockwise, periodically controlling the process. After that, it will only be left to put the platbands and collect the tool.

Conclusion

As you can see, self-adjustment of plastic doors and windows is quite simple. Even unprofessional can cope with this. Fortunately, if you act carefully, it will not be possible to damage anything in the process. If some difficulties arise, you can always familiarize yourself with the information on the manufacturer's official website - perhaps you are dealing with any non-standard fittings with your peculiarities.

Plastic doors won the market two decad years ago, and now they are used everywhere. Plastic is very practical and affordable material, so it is quite natural. Doors from it are easier to design and manufacture, and consumers, in turn, they like that they provide tightness and have a relatively small mass. The plastic is easier to care if you compare with a variety of other materials, including a tree or iron. However, in the process of using input systems from plastic, all the same problems appear as in other cases. The door can blame, rub on the box, touch the floor - such defects will bring a lot of trouble. But even without a master, everything can be corrected, for this it is enough to familiarize yourself with the instructions. In no case cannot be brought to such a situation when the door will simply embar it or stop entering the box. From time to time you need to be adjusted as a preventive measure.

Why regulate PVC doors

There are a number of reasons for adjusting the position of the doors. First, it is a shrinkage of the building. The phenomenon is characteristic of new buildings and is considered the norm. Secondly, the need for regulation makes the wrong operation of the door structure. The use of flaps and handles for hanging items, such as clothes and towels, leads to an increase in the load on the loop, not prepared in advance. Sash - another reason for regulating the position. The fact is that the door canvas in itself is a hard design, and such a process will occur in any case. Rapid or frequent temperature changes - this is a reason to adjust the design from time to time, since all this leads to depressurization. Door systems from polyvinyl chloride are also subject to such an impact. It is also recommended to regularly check the gaps and runs to track the dynamics of possible changes.

Types of plastic doors

Door structures from plastic in their destination are divided into:

• entrance;
• interroom;
• balcony.

For plastic structures, high strength is characterized, even without metallic inclusions. This applies to the interior doors of plastic. With the type of design, everything is more complicated. Split sliding, folding and swing doors. Constructions from the first category are a system of two sash moving in different directions on guide rails. Sliding plastic doors are often complemented by the automatic opening function. Such systems react to pressure on the lower platform. Such doors save space, but they produce a lot of noise and are expensive. Folding systems consist of two and more folding flaps. They are also called "accordions". Because of the joints, thermal insulation in folding plastic doors is worse. Swing systems are single and bivalves and open on / from themselves.

Frequent defects in which the adjustment of plastic doors is necessary

The door may notice under the influence of its own mass. This sometimes happens with plastic doors, despite the relatively low weight. Sometimes the canvas "kosit" to the side. Its status is checked by the line. Parallelism is estimated in relation to the bottom of the opening. One of the most frequent reasons for adjustment becomes the backlash in fasteners. Much depends on the design itself: it happens regularly with one doors, with others rarely. In most cases, you have to correct the chatting of the handles and correct the fasteners on the hinges. Behind these elements must be monitored to correct defects in time.

Other signs of need for adjustment are the seeping of cold air and increasing the noise level in the room. Sometimes when closing the sash, friction sound appears. This means that the door began to touch the box and the control of the loops is necessary. There are also problems with a locking device of the lock - with the closed state of the door or in any position.

Tools required when adjusting plastic doors

To adjust and simplify the process, a standard set of tools is prepared in advance. Among the most important tools pliers, passation, cruciform and flat screwdrivers, M-shaped keys with a 6-graded cross section (another name - furniture keys). In the absence of the last house, you will need to contact the shops of construction fittings. It is recommended to collect the toolkit in several sizes, in the range of 1.5-5 mm. The whole set will cost about 500 rubles. Cross and flat screwdrivers can replace the screwdriver with the desired bits. The most commonly used t and tx nozzles. The screwdriver will be useful in another understanding. He will free his hands from additional work. Scissors will still need to cut the seal, and needles.

The list of tools for adjusting plastic doors should also be made:

• chisel or special knife;
• rampant hammer;
• pen for removing loops;
• spatula for decaying.

Instructions for self-adjustment doors

Correction small problems with the location can be handled. Initially, the competent installation contributes to the fact that this moment has occurred not soon, but if irregularities were discovered, it is impossible to postpone their elimination. And it is connected not only with the possible expiration of the warranty period. First, the warranty itself is already dragging in actions, since any intervention will give the manufacturer's company to refuse the relevant service. And secondly, the option is also possible that you have to buy a new door to your funds. If the warranty no longer acts or decided to adjust independently, then you need to accurately comply with the technical instructions and recommendations of specialists. Special attention should be paid to the adjustment of the fasteners. It is possible to increase comfort in the room by increasing or reducing the tightness of the door design.

Door adjustment provides the following actions:

• Vertical adjustment.
• Change position in the horizontal plane.
• Setting up hinges, loops and canopies.
• Adjusting the handle.
• Sealing contact surfaces.
• Adjusting various parts of fittings.

Setting in height

Adjust the leaf in height is better immediately after the roughness or dents on seals were sealing. To change the position of the canvas, you will need to pull the lower mounted loop. Actions are performed according to a specific algorithm. First, we get access to the adjusting screws on the bottom loop. Usually they hide under a decorative plank. This element is removed by movement on itself and up. The action is accurate, because over time, plastic becomes inclined to dry and cracking. Next, we work with a vertical adjustment screw. We direct the head 6-face key of the desired size (usually 4 mm). Then turn it. Movement clockwise sweat the sash, and the inverse will empty. For some manufacturers of door structures, instead of a hex hole, there is a "asterisk".

Usually, overhead loops of the buried type are installed on the doors of plastic or metalplastic. In systems without the inclusions of metals, as a rule, there are enough two fasteners. In the presence of the glass package, the option with three fasteners is optimal. Curtains regulate in several different ways. They are directly related to the adjustment of the canvas in height, as well as with its movement to the right and left. The setting is performed by the adjusting screw. The sash at this time should be ajar. Movements are made by or counterclockwise. It is not worth twisted only one mount, because in the profile it can be curved, and when the door is opened, creak or crunch appears. The need for controlling loops and canopies will indicate drafts that appear slots, slowing down or complication when closing the sash. The prevention of defects will significantly increase the service life of the door structures from plastic.

Violation of the door system installation technology will lead to serious malfunctions that will not be able to correct the usual adjustment.

Alignment in the horizontal plane

This type of adjustment involves moving the sash parallel to the top and bottom of the structure. The door can cling to the top near the bearing rack or the threshold next to the opposite. The canvas is susceptible to the temperature expansion that enhances the above problems. To adjust, you will need a 4-millimeter 6-face key, less often - another tool. The screw for horizontal alignment is located by analogy - horizontally. To perform the task, open the door, we turn into the hole the key and twist. Rotation clockwise will attract the cloth to the loop and lifting the bottom from the opposite rack. Move the tool in another direction will lead to the opposite result. If you need to eliminate rubbing or leveling the effects of temperature expansion, you will need an impact on all the door hinges.

What to do for thick closure - Frontal adjustment of eccentric

Eccentrics are designed to control the density of the adjuncing parts of the door frame to each other. The principle of operation is similar to the functional load performed by them in window structures. The density of the clutch is regulated by turning these most eccentrics. There is a clear sequence of actions for the maximum dense closure. First, the hinges are exempt from decorative dampers. Then the sash opens and the block is pressed. Then the top of the door is moving to obtain normal access to the eccentric. Next rotates the screw. If the desired pressing level is achieved, it will only be completed. Moving elements should be lubricated. Then the block is pressed and the door returns to the initial position. The largest pressed is ensured by the position of the eccentrics at the maximum level. After adjustment, the content bolt is lowered, the parts are shifted and the fastening is delayed.

Difficulties when closing

The most frequent problems are skew, seating, loose fit, complexity when turning the handle. In the worst cases, the door stops close at all. If the situation is lighter, and the canvas simply stopped tightly fixed in the opening, then the reason is extremely technical. Most likely, it will only be necessary to adjust the fittings. But if the sash does not enter the frame at all, it means that you have to look for a breakdown. The most common causes of malfunction becomes unsuitable accessories, hitting foreign objects in the door mechanism or disruption of the integrity of the structure. Less unpleasant than the jamming of the door, but more frequent negative moments are seeding or disking of the door and inconvenience when turning the handle. If in the latter case the cause becomes too sharp movement with a handle or sash, then the skews and dials are associated with excess load on the axis of the door design.

Hinges are composite elements of loops and other mounting nodes. Built-in spherical bearings, for example, reduce wear and make the opening process easier and smooth. They, like other hinges, should be lubricated in a timely manner. Depending on the defect detected, 3 settings are used - vertical, horizontal and frontal. In the first case, you will need to remove the protective cap and insert a screwdriver into the hole in the end. Horizontal adjustment involves working with adjustable screw. During manipulations, the tool should attract the cloth to the loop. The third method, front, implies adjustments on the opposite relative to the hinge rack. There may be hinges of eccentrics. You can work with pliers, key or other tools, it all depends on the specific case.

How to change the seal

First you need to choose and purchase a new one. As a rule, this is a plastic rubber tape. For plastic design, the material of the corresponding form will be required. These seals are 2 species: for frames and sash. Old gasket is easily removed. At first, the place is selected, where it can be picked up, and then it breaks out of the groove with a sharp movement. Next, we clean the grooves from dust and dirt. In the pure groove then insert the end of the new gum. We will bring the pad in the groove entirely. Then I spend your finger along the tape, pushing the pad in the groove. Cinta will remain outside. He will take on the role of protection against drafts and street dust. At the same time you can adjust the door. Installation of the seal is also the ability to adjust the door cell density. In the complex with the installation of a high-quality sealer, it is also worth a member of the door, sroping the cloth clamping bolts. This is especially true in the period before the winter.

Adjusting the handles is one of the simplest manipulations. In everyday life, such types of malfunctions are mainly happening as a tight course and chat. Unbalance is fixed in the same way. First, 90 ° rotates the protective plate, covering the mount. You need to move this insert, as it is made of thin plastic. When access to the adjusting screws is obtained, 2 options remain. Spinning screws more tight if the problem lies in the cutting of the handle. And on the contrary, weakening fixation, if the handle has a tight course. Then we put the record at the starting position and check the connection. If the backlash remains the same as initially, then there is a crack in the case. In this case, you will need new fittings. If the door is bivalve, then half are adjustable alternately.

How to adjust to winter

First of all, check whether the sash does not prevent, as well as how it is adjacent to the frame. Then you need to know if there is no clearance. This is checked by a conventional sheet of paper. Then you should do the quality of fixtures. If necessary, replace the seal. However, the main aspect of the preparation of the door in the winter / summer cycle is presser. Its effectiveness is determined by the cylindrical element - the eccentric. You need to adjust this item with a flat screwdriver or hex key, depending on the configuration. If the eccentric is smooth, then for turning first it will be necessary to delay the element from the web. Maximum tightness is guaranteed by 6-graded key No. 4. The label on the eccentric should "look" in the direction of the floor, which can be pressed to the box. If you carry out this manipulation correctly, even in a strong wind, the probability of seeping of cold air will be minimal.

Door adjustment during sagging

If the edges of the door cling the stand of the door box - it signals a seating. At the same time, in the closed state, a more or less noticeable gap will appear in the upper part. The technical part of the defect correction will be to adjust the gap between the looped node and the web. This process is similar to alignment of the shutters in the windows. Eliminate the overcast by horizontal setting that allows you to move the canvas to the right and left. The first thing is the horizontal adjusting screw in the lower loop structure. The hole is located at the bottom of the loop from the door of the door frame. Scrolling the screw cloth closer or remove from the loop. In the first case, rotations are made clockwise, in the second - against. Then it is checked the possibility of free opening / closing the door. The sash swinging 90 °, and if everything is in order, the position is adjusted also through the upper loop. Usually grabs 1-2 key turns.

What to do to the plastic doors less often needed adjustment

There are several ways to facilitate the functioning of doors:

• installation of closers;
• selection of a suitable design option;
• mounting microlift;
• lubrication of accessories;
• arrangement of reliable protection against wind.

Fully secure the door from exposure is impossible, as well as do without alignment. However, using the above methods, repair and frequent regulation can be avoided. The experience of many people shows that some problems manage to warn. It is necessary to realize the importance of choosing loops. The latter are designed for structures where the load will be approximately 80 or 160 kilograms. The amount of loops has a value, but not always. The data are calculated on average for 200 thousand openings / closures. In any case, it is recommended to follow a certain margin of safety. Reliable protection against the door seed is microlift. It has a bar installed on the canvas, and the corresponding element on the frame. Both details are connected when closing, slightly lifting the door and reducing the load on the loop. Several lubricant drops also improve operational characteristics. Rubber seals will reduce the impact of strong winds and drafts.

Features of plastic entrance doors

Input plastic systems are manufactured using metal-plastic profiles with separate air chambers and rigid ribs. Profiles are performed either only from plastic, or using fittings. To increase the strength of the design, the frame elements are connected by metal mortgages. The shape of the frame structure, like the whole product, is the most diverse - trapezoidal, rectangular, arched, etc. At the entrance doors made of plastic, special riglels, locks of increased reliability and power loops are mounted. The multilateral locking mechanism is provided for maximum density. The plastic door of any configuration consists of elements such as door leaf, frame and fittings. Unlike other type doors, metal-plastic can have a box of a holistic metal profile.

Closer - Mandatory Element of Fittings

They differ in the type of installation:

• external;
• hidden;
• outdoor.

And the principle of action:

• knee;
• slide.

This device is intended to ensure the smooth movement of the door. As a result of its use, the period of operation of hinges and other parts of the fittings and, accordingly, the entire door design increases. The closer has to be used in the door systems in public places, because the door there opens and closes a large number of times per day. The design features of different versions of this accessivity are very different - by the closing mechanism, place and installation method. At the place of fixation distinguishes outdoor, hidden and outdoor closers. The first-type devices are placed at the top, the second is inside the canvas and frame, the floor is mounted in the sash and on the floor. The last subspecies is suitable for both unilateral and pendulum doors. According to the mechanism, there are two categories of closers: with a knee (scissor) and slide transmission.

Adjustment and adjustment of the closer

Adjusting the closer affects the overall door closing speed. It is better to reduce it from interior, and increase in input, but much depends on the specific situation. With the help of the closer adjust the speed of the prechlet (pressed door to the frame) and intermediate stroke. In the first case, we are talking about prioritization: make the movement rapidly or slow down to remove excess load on the door frame. With the second variant, thanks to the setup, you can organize the possibility of passing several people at the same time. To customize the closer will not be difficult, because it has a special screw. The door closure speed is reduced if you twist it clockwise. In case the speed has changed too much, the bolt is returned to the intermediate position between the current and initial and adjust again. Screws can not be unscrewing more than 2 turns. To adjust the Dullop, the setup is performed for 15-20 cm from the frame. The control of the third adjusting screw determines the intermediate speed.

With the help of the same 3th screw, the web closing delay is configured.

Conclusion

Those who wish to buy the door should not save on materials, fittings and configurations of the structure. After all, it will once be displayed on the key features of the door. When the defect was already detected, you should seek warranty service. However, if the situation is a frivolous or warranty expired, it is possible to eliminate the shortcomings alone. Most often, such problems appear as a web-saving, its displacement to the hinges or a rack with a retaliatory bar, the difficulty of the door of the door when closing, reducing tightness and unbalancement of fittings. Most of these defects are corrected by the usual hexagon key, which is easy to find on sale. Adjust the door mechanism must be at least twice a year - before the start of winter and a few months before the summer. Change the density of the adjuncing parts of the box. If in the process of adjusting door mechanisms there will be some difficulties, you should immediately seek qualified help.

Recently, plastic doors used only in shopping centers and offices. Later, this element moved to apartments and private houses, where he won a worthy place in the hallway, the hall and on the balcony. Unlike wood plastic eliminates the penetration of dust and noise, it is not afraid of water and is produced in different colors. The material is easy to care for the material, so this is justified. But even a qualitatively manufactured and mounted design is not a guarantee of durability. Therefore, the timely adjustment of the plastic door is of great importance.

What is plastic door adjustment

Under the adjustment of the plastic door, they understand the process of checking and bringing its functional characteristics (opening / closing, clamping) to the required values. Starting the adjustment should be when you notice the first signs of improper doors. If the moment is missed, then there is a risk of a doorway breakdown with the need to replace it, which will require quite significant financial costs. Experts agree that the preventive inspection of the plastic door must be carried out no more than once a year. Frequent repair activities are fraught with increased wear of hardware and seal elements.

Types adjustment

Adjustment includes setting the position of the door leaf sash and repair door fittings. In the first case, the following types of work are distinguished:

• vertical adjustment designed to eliminate the problem of saving plastic doors due to their own weight;
• horizontal adjustment, the purpose of which is to eliminate the door friction about the threshold;
• frontal adjustment of the climbing seasonally (in summer and winter) to reduce or increase the gap between the web and the door frame.

Plastic doors regulate in three directions: vertical, horizontal or frontal

Separate attention should be paid to the repair of the handles, locks, loops and other fittings. When the swivel handle has a tight move, she is not so easy to use, especially if a child lives in the house, which cannot physically close the door to the end. From the slightest impulse of the sash swinging the lash. The opposite situation is a breakdown handle leading to drafts.

Causes of doors adjustment

The reasons for the need for adjustment are several factors.

1. Shrinking building. This is a natural process that occurs only in new buildings.
2. Incorrect operation of the door. Holding onto the handle and canvas foreign objects, a sharp opening and slamming of the door increase the load on the loop.
3. Sedassing the door under its own mass. Although plastic doors and refer to the category of light, no one has canceled gravity.
4. Sharp and frequent temperature regimens. These phenomena lead to depressurization of the door system.

How to understand that the door needs adjustment

An obvious feature that the door is time to restore, is the seeping of cold air and noise into a closed room. About problems sign and difficulties with breaking the sash. Finally, a lot of trouble can deliver condensate, accumulating on glass or slopes as a result of formation of slots between the door and the box.

For lovers of practical methods, special tricks are offered, allowing to evaluate the state of the door.

1. Checking the gap. For this, a sheet of paper is paved between a dutched sash and the door frame. The door is imposed until it stops, translating the handle to the lower position. With a sealed location of the canvas relative to the box, remove the leaflet is very difficult. If there is a gap between the pair of elements, the paper is extracted easily.

   If the gap is adjusted correctly, the paper will go out with a noticeable effort.

2. Skotes check. The estimate begin with the fact that the perimeter of the sash is placed on the door frame with a closed door with a pencil. As a ruler, the edges of the door canvase serve. After that, the door opens and compare the parallelism of the bottom of the outlet and the outlined line. If parallelism is broken, the door needs to be adjusted. A similar comparison can be made using a construction level. To do this, a level is applied to the horizontal and vertical part of the opened door. The deviation of the instrument indicators determine the valid batch. To determine the skew of the door box, it is measured by its diagonals. They must be equal to each other.

   A standard bubble level with three flasks, a simple pencil and a three-meter roulette suitable for estimating the PVC doors curve

3. Checking the motionlessness of the door leaf in the open state. Open the door at an angle of about 45 o and leave in that position. If the door spontaneously flashes or opens even more, then this is a signal for adjustment. Of course, when conducting a test, the effect of wind must be excluded.

   If a serviced at an angle of about 45 degrees, the door spontaneously opens or closes, it must be adjusted

Is it possible to adjust the plastic door yourself

With competent installation, the need to regulate the door from PVC profile will not come soon. But in the presence of faults, it is impossible to postpone. If a warranty period is distributed on the product, then you need to contact the company that is used by installing the door. Independent intervention in the design will remove the door with the warranty. Experts who left for free will eliminate flaws free, without damaging the door mechanisms.

Adjusting the door on its own it makes sense only after the end of the warranty period. This is simple, you can configure the plastic door yourself, especially since many manufacturers apply instructions to their products with a detailed description of this process. But before proceeding with the work, it is necessary to clearly represent the device of the plastic door and its main components.

Before starting adjusting the PVC doors, always look into the warranty card, so as not to violate the rules for the use of the product

Any plastic door consists of a base block and replaceable spare parts, among which are distinguished by mandatory (handles, loops) and optional accessories (castle, closers). In general, the design of the plastic door can be divided into such nodes:

Tool that will be required to adjust plastic doors

To reduce the time consumption of adjustment, you should prepare a set of necessary tools in advance. The minimum standard kit must include the following fixtures.

1. G-shaped keys with hexagon cross section. If there are no such objects in the home arsenal, then you can buy them in the stores of construction fittings. It is better to take several sizes - from 1.5 to 5 mm. Approximate cost of set - 400-500 rubles.
2. Shop flat and cruciform. Can be replaced with a screwdriver with suitable bits. Most often apply nozzles with marking TX and T.
3. Passatia or pliers.

If the plastic door has not been used for a long time, then when you turn, the door hinges can produce creak. In this case, machine oil or technical aerosol WD-40 will come to the rescue. They not only eliminate rust raids, but also reduce friction in moving mechanisms. A nozzle in the form of a thin plastic tubule is attached to the WD-40 lubricant cartridge. Due to compactness, the tool is great for door loops and locks.

WD-40 remedy is available in the form of aerosol or oil, it is better to use the first option for doors.

Instructions for various types of adjustment

Inexperienced masters can decide that the PVC door adjustment is a complex procedure requiring special knowledge. But in practice it is only necessary to find a mechanism in need of configuration. And the instructions set out below will help repair quickly and efficiently.

How to align the sensory door

The identified door to learn is very easy - its edges cling to the vertical stand of the door frame, and the closed is formed from above. Technically adjusting such a door and appeared as a result of this skewer comes down to changing the gap between the sash and the looped node. The process is similar to what is used when adjusting the plastic windows. To resolve the skew, the horizontal setting is used, which allows you to tighten the sash to the right or left.

The procedure for adjusting the proposed door will be as follows.

1. We find a horizontal screw for adjustment in the bottom loop. He is hidden at the bottom of the loop from the frame side.

   Rotating the screw, you can achieve the door shift shift to the door lock

2. We install a hexagon in it and turn to the right or left. The turn clockwise will bring closer to the hinge, and counterclocky - remove.

   After the end of the horizontal adjustment should check the door to free opening and closing

3. Open the door to an angle of 90 O and more and find a loop on the top of the sash. Structurally, the mechanism differs from what is located below. But it presents a similar hole under the hex key. We install the corresponding tool in it and turn, approaching or moving the door leaf from the rotation axis. Screws should rotate until the door stop cling to the threshold.

   To eliminate sagging, it is enough to rotate the key 1-2 times

How to adjust the plastic door in height

If dents or curiosity are noticeable on the door seals, then it is time to adjust the sash in height. To do this, tighten the lower loop.

The sequence of the action performed is the following.

1. We find the bottom loop with adjusting screws in the door design. Usually they are hidden by a protective ornamental overlay. The latter need to remove, slightly pulling on yourself and up. Plastic dries over time and cracks, so everything is done very carefully.

   Decorative lining need to carefully pull on itself and up

2. Removing the lining, get access to the screw for vertical adjustment. In his head, we set the six-mrench suitable in size (in most cases - 4 mm). The turn of the key clockwise allows you to lift the canvas, and counterclocky - omit.

   Some manufacturers instead of a hex hole use a hole under the "Star"

How to change the plugging of the plastic door

The clamp of the plastic door is recommended to be adjusted twice a year: in the summer to reduce to improve ventilation, and in winter it is increased to save heat in the room. Spontaneous weakening of the clamp in any of the seasons can occur for two reasons:

• wear of sealing gum losing their volume over time;
• deformation caused by a temperature gradient.

The use of a high-quality seal is a guarantee of the tightness of the door design.

The consequence of the weakening of the clutch are gaps between the box and the door itself, leading to the loss of noise insulation and heat. The output from the position may be the replacement of the seal, described below, or adjust the appropriate fittings.

As an adjustment mechanism, small cylinders are located in the end of the sash in the grooves of the plugs. They received the name of eccentrics. One plastic door can have to seven cockpit. Opposite the eccentrics there is a response mechanism. To adjust the density of the climb, adjust the eccentrics.

The sequence of actions on adjusting the door of the door consists of several steps.

1. We find all the fit pictures on the plastic door. They can be not only on the outer, but also on the inside of the sash and even on top. On their face, there is a hole under the hex key, the grooves under the dispersed or a smooth part with flashes to capture the pliers.

   Eccentric design depends on the manufacturer of fittings

2. To enhance the clamping, the eccentric is rotated clockwise, and for weakening - counterclockwise. The entire set of eccentrics should be in the same position, otherwise the door can squeeze.

   The position of the eccentric in the middle of the groove matches the normal fit

How to replace the seal to improve the clamp

If after the rotation of the eccentrics around the room walks the draft, then it is necessary to replace the seal. To do this, in the construction store acquire a new rubber profile with a cross section and a width similar to the old one. Good quality is celebrated by silicone gaskets from Germany, a slightly more budget exit - the purchase of ethylene propylene rubber. To fix the profile, glue composition is required for rubber.

The replacement of the sealer is reduced to the fulfillment of a number of events.

1. The old seal is completely extracted, the remnants are removed from the PVC-door groove with a knife.
2. The groove under the seal degreases and is covered with a glue mass, which is applied by a solid ribbon.
3. Installation of a new rubber cord begins on the angle, the material is not stretched and do not compress when laying.

The sealer easily comes out of the groove - it is enough to hook the material with scolding and pull it on yourself

Adjusting the knob

Adjusting the handle is considered the simplest operation to restore plastic doors. Two types of handle faults are common: chatting or tight move. The principle of troubleshooting is the same.

1. Turn into 90 o Protective Insert Closing Handle Fastening. So you can access the adjusting screws.

   Cap, closing screws, made of plastic, so turn it should be carefully

2. If the handle is loosened, then the opened screws pull the screwdriver or screwdriver. If the handle has a tight course, then loosen the mount in the same way.

   For bivalve structures, adjustment of the handles is carried out in turn

3. After adjustment, replace the protective insert. If the tightening of the screws does not remove the backlash in the connection, the crack is present in the handle housing. In this case, without buying a new fittings not to do.

Setting the correct position of the loop

Adjusting plastic doors loops is carried out in two directions: vertically and horizontal.Vertical setup is described in the height of the door leaf in height. Therefore, we consider the process of horizontal regulation.

1. Open the door and unscrew the screws from all loops using a 3 mm hexagon.
2. Remove the decorative lining to get to the adjusting screws.
3. Rotate the screws on all hinges on the same number of revolutions.

The maximum adjustment of the horizontal is 2-3 mm

How to adjust the lock on the plastic door

The door from polyvinyl chloride is characterized by a multi-layer design, different from the device of glass or wooden doors. Therefore, the castles have their own features and nuances. The installation of the door lock for plastic doors is better to entrust professionals, and the execution of a small adjustment is a sinking task for self-exercise. The largest distribution for entrance and interroom PVC doors was obtained by mortise locks, and for balcony - latches on the rollers.

A plan for restoring the workability of the lock depends on the type of mechanism.

1. For mortise locks, adjustment is to pull up the screws installed on the main and auxiliary (response) part of the castle. The appropriate tool is a crosswinter. After tightening, you need to check the lock to match its details of each other. To do this, the door is closed and make sure that the tongue is included in the groove on the opposite part.

   Cutting lock for plastic door has special screws with which you can make it adjust

2. For balcony, adjustment is carried out by twisting the screw, located above the latch, hexed key with 4 mm. To loosen the clamping part of the latch, the key turn the key clockwise to strengthen the clamp - counterclockwise.

   To adjust the latch, it is enough to perform no more than two screws with a hexagon head

Adjustment of bivalve plastic doors

Bivalve plastic doors are mostly installed at the entrance to the building, and in new homes with improved layout they frame the input zone of the balcony. Mandatory condition for their installation - the width of the doorway should be at least 90 cm. Structurally, such a door consists of "leading" and "slave" sash. The first, movable, is equipped with a handle and shut-off accessories, and the second is fixed and opens if necessary. For locking and unlocking the "slave" sash corresponds to a pliable mechanism.

Plump always install on passive sash

Adjusting the door with two flaps is not fundamentally different from the single-door door except for the setting of the shill. Depending on the nature of the problem, the adjustment is to perform the following steps.

Can I do without adjusting the door

According to the experience of many people, the question of adjusting the plastic door occurs when a real problem appears. Is it possible to prevent this phenomenon? Unfortunately, it will not be possible to completely avoid adjustment, but there are several factors that affect its frequency. Among them will highlight the main.

1. To sagging the door has a significant impact of the right choice of loops. Depending on the weight of the structure, there are hinges designed for a load of 80 kg or 160 kg. The heavier the canvas, the more loops should be. The average cycle of the loop operation is 200 thousand openings and closures.
2. Reliable way to avoid sending plastic doors - installation of microlift. It consists of a movable plank, fixed on the door sash, and a fixed mounted on a frame. When closing the door, both parts are engaged, slightly lifting the door leaf and reducing the load on the loop.

   The use of microlift prolongs the life of the loop, handles and seal

3. Several times a year, fittings need to be lubricated. To do this, it is impossible to apply henchmen (vegetable oil, vaseline, margarine). It is best to apply mineral, synthetic oil or special compositions for PVC windows and doors on rubing mechanisms.

   In the case of liquid lubricant to the mechanism, it is enough to fill 2-3 drops of oil

4. Wind protection provide rubber elements. For a good clamping, the seal must be cleaned from dirt and missed the silicone pencil. So the elasticity of the rubber band is preserved.

   As part of the care of the sealer should not be aggressive substances

The installation of a plastic door is a simple and effective way to give the room tools, increase noise and thermal insulation. But all the doors from PVC over time they saw under their own weight, so they need periodic adjustment. If you feel that the door has become bad to open or skip cold air, then you should not panic and cause locks. If the door is not under warranty, then with a careful study of regulation instructions, you can independently return the performance of this design.

Before adjusting the plastic balcony door, you should get acquainted with useful recommendations. They will enable a positive result.

Before adjusting the glazing balcony door, it is necessary to establish the cause of the fault. There may be the following options:

• The bottom end of the sash hurts the threshold. This means that I asked the balcony plastic door under its own weight. The design has an impressive mass, so as a result of constant physical impact, accessories (especially loops) begins to deform.
• Fold scars in the middle of the frame. Most often it is associated with lateral displacement. It can be caused by temperature or physical deformation.
• The balcony door is poorly closed, and the slots appear. This is due to bad fixation of the sash with the seal.
• The handle is walking and badly "sits" in the grooves. In this case, the problem is solved by adjustment.

To adjust the clamping of the plastic balcony door, it is necessary as less as possible, you must adhere to some sensitive recommendations from specialists.

• Before buying special attention to choose the choice of fittings. Its technical characteristics must fully fit the weight of the structure.

Tip: The lion's share of modern mechanisms is designed for a mass of 100-120 kg and this is sufficient in most cases. However, if you have a particularly heavy design (for example, 3-4 chamber windows, then more powerful models should be purchased).

1. Use the savings compensator (it is also called microlift). This is a small and cheap mechanism that will prevent the sewn savings under their own weight. Its use is justified fully.
2. Adjusting the Balcony Glass Balloker from PVC will be required much less likely if you use the opening limiter.
3. When operating, avoid sharp movements or applications too strong effort. Often, problems with the mechanisms arise precisely because of not too careful use.

Instructions for proper configuration

In order to adjust the balcony door, you will need a set of hexagons. So, consider various options for setting.

Eliminating the problems with the handle

In most cases, the problem is alone - the knob itself is loosened in the grooves. It is very simple to fix it and for this you need a standard cross screwdriver. Make the following:

1. Pick up a plastic lining with something sharp, for example, a knife.
2. Rotate it clockwise 90 degrees.
3. Spin the available bolts until you stop, but not too much.
4. Put the lining in place.

If this procedure does not help, the backlash remains, most likely, the handle is defective and its replacement is required. To do this, it is enough to unscrew the bolts and pull out the handle and insert a new one.

Fight a bad clamp

To check whether the setup is required or not, you can conduct an easy procedure:

• Place the paper sheet on the frame of the open flap.
• We close it and try to launch a sheet.
• Such a procedure is carried out throughout the perimeter.
• If he pulls out with great difficulty, everything is in order. Otherwise, it will be necessary to adjust the balcony door to the presser about what and talk further.

So, the sequence of actions looks like:

1. We inspect the general condition of the design (we pay special attention to the seal).
2. You also need to make sure that the handle closes to the end.
3. If there are problems with the door of the door, they can be eliminated by adjusting the screws in the hinges (in most cases 3).
4. Open the manner, unscrew the screws and remove it from the loops.
5. As a result, we will see a long screw, located horizontally. It must be twisted and return the design to the place.
6. If the operation did not help, we produce the twisting of the eccentrics - these are mechanisms located on the end of the sash. They are responsible for the level of her clips. Usually they have the shape of the hexagon.

Correctly eliminate savings

If the adjustment of the balcony plastic door is necessary due to its sagging, it will be necessary to produce the following manipulations:

• Open the sash.

Please note: some fitness models will require the "asterisk" key.

• With the help of a 4 mm hexagon, we turn the screw in the door of the door (usually it is located next to the top loop). We make several revolutions clockwise.
• Return the sash to the place (close).
• Remove plastic lining from the lower loops. This will allow you to get to the adjusting screws.
• We twist the screw located on top. As a result, we ride our sash, giving her the right position.
• Carefully check the move. If problems are still observed, we repeat the operation until they are eradicated.

To ensure the most comfortable operation, we recommend regularly lubricating loops and other moving elements. For this, the WD-40 universal means is perfect.

We solve the problem with hiding in the middle of the frame

This malfunction is eliminated much easier. Our task is to shift the sash closer to hinges. This is done as follows:

• We assign the shutter to the bottom loop. To do this, we twist the side adjustment screw. As a result, she must take.
• We repeat the procedure for the upper loop.

In most cases, these manipulations are sufficient. If they did not allow to get rid of the problem, most likely, the replacement of fittings is necessary.

Many people choose plastic entrance doors for their home. Usually this option is used for the balcony, however, the front door from durable metalplastic is quite appropriate and at the entrance to the office, private house. Unlike wooden doors, plastic is more practical: it does not succumb, it is not afraid of bad weather. And at the same time it is easy, which is beneficial to this design from metal analogs. Plastic doors are installed usually employees of the company supplier, but to adjust it, "fit" to themselves under the power of each owner, if he is a little friendly with the simplest tools. In the article, we will tell you how to adjust the plastic entrance door correctly: find out what you need, and give detailed instructions - with clarification of all stages of work.

Important moments when adjusting the plastic entrance door

Acquisition and installation of a new plastic door group - a lesson requiring certain skills and knowledge. If you do not know how to establish how to correctly, we give a few recommendations that will allow you to control the high-quality installation of the door without defects and flaws.

Step-by-step instructions for the installation of interroom doors are offered with their own hands.

Most often adjustment is required immediately after installing the new door. Even if the installation was performed by super-professionals, it is still necessary to subsequently "fit" the installed design, bring it to the mind. If it is located in the passing place, for example, in the office, the store, then the question often arises. In such institutions, the door is constantly open-closed: and not always delicately and carefully.

If, after installation, the design opens "with creak" - this is a good reason to contact the company that has installed the door, with the claim and the requirement to eliminate the shortcomings.

All information about plastic entrance doors with glass, read.

The fact that the door is installed correctly and vertically, you can check with a level - laser or usual. This tool will demonstrate any deviation from the norm.

• check if the frame fit tightly to the door frame. There should be no cracks, defects and gaps. To do this, you must familiarize yourself in advance;
• open the installed door design by half: it is important that the sash does not seek to close or discover completely independently, but remained in the same position as you left it;
• if there are absolutely no ideas about installing the doors and the specifics of metal-plastic door structures, before the arrival of the installer crafts, it will not be superfluous to see a special video that will give primary knowledge in this matter. After watching the roller and reading the appropriate article on the Internet, you can talk with masters with a certain "knowledge of the case", which will help to avoid many probable "jambs."

Need to independently adjust the lock

You can and without any measurements to note that the time has come to adjust when you feel that the room pulls a draft with a closed door. This means that the door design appeared slots requiring immediate elimination. But still learn what exact cases there is a need to adjust the inlet plastic door, which moments indicate this need.

Sometimes it is enough to circle a door frame with a pencil to see that the resulting lines are not at all parallel. And if so, it means that an urgent need for adjustment and correction arose.

To understand how tightly the door is adjacent, place a sheet of paper between the frame and the box, and press it. After pressing, try to pull the sheet: if it comes out with difficulty, it means that everything is in order with density. But if it pops up easily and effortlessly, you need to adjust the clamp.

Sometimes deformation and temperature drops lead to the fact that the door sash shifts. And then the door canvas begins to hurt the middle of the frame. Or such deformation leads to the fact that the door "slides" down, and its lower edge begins to touch the canopy when moving.

Frequently required and adjust the installed door handle. The need for this occurs when the handle begins to stick, and even more so - when completely falls out of its own nest.

After installing the door design, you may need to install a locking device, we recommend reading about overhead door spiing.

Sometimes the adjustment of the front character is necessary - on the clamp, if, as a result of the wear of the sealant, the door canvas began to lighten to the frame.

In addition to the listed, the adjustment is needed when the sash does not hold in the closed position when the lock is open.

If you have found one or more of the listed "errors", it means that it is time to make adjustment. However, attention: Do not take any independent movements if the warranty period from the installer manufacturer has not ended. During the warranty period, the Company is obliged to eliminate all technical shortcomings (no wine owner) for free. And your intervention and attempt to repair (possibly unsuccessful) will be the basis for the company's refusal from warranty obligations.

Instruments

To qualitatively and professionally produce work on adjusting the front door of plastic, the following set of tools will be required:

• screwdrivers: flat and cross;
• keys and hexagons of all sizes;
• roulette;
• special plastic gaskets;
• passatia.

And if you are doing similar works for the first time, it will be useful and open a site with our tutorial, which will help to adjust the plastic input structure in stages.

Vertical adjustment

Each metal plastic door is equipped with a special adjusting screw on the loop. If this screw "breaks out", minor dents will be noticeable on the lower or upper layers of the sealer, or the door sash will rub the threshold. To adjust this shortcoming, you need to find the screw to which the height of the door is adjusted in the loop of the designated screw, and then remove the plug from it.

To adjust the screw, use a 5 mm key-hexagon. Rotating it with an hourly arrow, you raise the door frame, and against it to lower the height.

Horizontal adjustment

This type of work is necessary most often when the plastic canvas begins to sign because of its gravity.

To configure, open the door manner, unscrew the screws with a key-shop 3 mm from two top loops. Then close the door leaf, and remove the lining from screws. To configure, we need the longest screw, located horizontally - it is adjusted in the upper and medium loop. Moreover, the upper must be tightened a little stronger. Usually it is enough to eliminate the door skew.

Well, that the sash always moved evenly, the remaining screws going horizontally can be corrected in all three loops.

Adjusting Cress

In a different way, this type of work is called frontal setting. You should know that adjusting the clamp should be periodically: each spring and autumn. For the warm season, it is weakened, and in cold - reinforce.

To configure the desired clamping density, find the constipation axle, where there is a special serif, with which the door density is determined. For a hexagon, this sector unfolds to the frame to weaken the clamping, from the frame - for amplification.

But it happens that the sebage is already rotated as necessary, and the density is still insufficient. In this case, you can adjust the frame with a glass.

You may be interested in information about.

To do this, you need to remove the strokes that hold the glass. With the help of blades that are between the double-glazing and plastic web, the gaskets are installed (also from plastic). A competent selection of gaskets can be qualitatively adjusted by the door skew. When you put the headquarters into place, boil them with a rubber hammer to avoid deformation.

Seal

In the case when the door is too long been used in a swollen form without proper adjustment, the seal is wearing and deformed.

The deformed seal must be removed, then cleaned the grooves from dirt and dried glue residues. Then wake the groove with fresh glue, and install a new seal. Make sure that it is not strongly stretched.

In addition, what sealant for plastic windows is better, you will learn.

Adjusting knob

When operating the input design of plastic, the occurrence of two problems with handles are possible: breaking or, on the contrary, too slow and reluctant turning.

If the handle dangles, you need to turn the lining on it 90 degrees, open access to screws and screwdriver tighten the screws, thereby eliminating the existing defect.

If the knob is tight, then the problem is in the disk of the door plastic canvas. Eliminate this defects will have to be one of the methods discussed above. If all the breaks are eliminated, and the handle is still tight and the bad, the most optimal solution will be replaced.

What advise us experienced doors installer.

So that the need for adjustment often does not occur, equip the door with a special microlift and the adjustment-limiter. The microlift will not allow the door to the doorway, as it will "take" his weight over. And the limiter will not allow loops to break out when the door will rest in the jamb.

Lubricate regularly available silicone seal, which will significantly extend the operational suitability of the gasket.

Try to use the door handle for destination: you do not need to hang on her bags, umbrellas and other items. Inappropriate use can lead to provisions and breaking this detail.

Do not forget that the lock is required to be periodically lubricated. If this is not done, the household will start pulling the handle strongly: and this leads to a disk of the door canvase.

It is possible that you will have a need.

On the video adjustment of the plastic entrance door:

We reviewed the process of adjusting the inlet plastic door. The same principles can be used and if the plastic door is installed between the rooms. As you can see, there is nothing particularly difficult to cope with the work independently. The specialist takes for adjusting the plastic door about 1,800 rubles: think about what kind of savings is possible if you work on your own. Follow the entrance door: heat and comfort in the house depend on its condition and efficiency.
