Hi all,
I had this composite door fitted 18 months ago and bit by bit it’s got stiffer to open (when pushing closed & pulling open)
I think it’s dropped very slightly.
Unfortunately it’s now also affecting the lock in that to open the door the thumb turn or key sometimes doesn’t turn the full way.
When that happens I have to use the pole to give the door a wiggle & lift and then the lock works ok.
When wiggling the door there’s no obvious movement going on but it seems to resolve the unlocking issue temporarily
Am I right in thinking I need to remove the very small securing Allen screw in the middle of edge hinge. Before then adjusting the larger Allen screw in the tops of each hinge
