UPVC Door

[feebal]

I have a upvc door and when the weather's really hot (like today!) I can't lock it. It's almost like something in the mechanism swells in the heat. Does anyone know what this could be or how I go about fixing it because obviously it's a bit worrying to have to leave my door unlocked in hot weather. Thanks.

When did have you had the door fitted as it might still be under guarentee...

theres a hole on the middle bracket that adjusts with an allan key

Thanks Billy. There's 4 hinge brackets and they all seem to have 2 little holes that look allen key shaped. Would you do both middle brackets??

its a matter of trial and error- move slowly

Cheers. I'll give it a go :)

Most uPVC doors and windows are built with an aluminium core. Aluminium is one of the metals that expands most when heated. Good luck with the adjustments!

The adjustments didn't seem to make any difference at all. Looks like I'll have to get a door man in. Thanks for your help
