Flag hinge?

[Longshanks]

Hi All

These hinges are on doors fitted 25 years ago. They both present with the symptom of difficult to lift handle to lock position with doors closed. (Not open)

Can you confirm they’re flat hinges and the procedure to resolve.

Thanks

Hi again


May I ask a follow up on this? My three hinges have Allen bolts at side and underneath each hinge. Am I right in thinking I need to adjust the side screw on each hinge to adjust laterally? (Clockwise or anti clockwise?) I’ve also attached an image of door showing clearly the lack of alignment at top left.

Many thanks

Yes the side one moves the door sideways, the one underneath pushes the hinge pin up thus lifting the door

 

[Longshanks]

Thanks. Don’t suppose you could indicate whether I trust clockwise or anti clockwise?
Cheers

Depends which way you want to move the door, put a pencil mark on the door and hinge and see which way it moves for you, there may be a couple of turns of slack to make up first clockwise or anti clockwise before you see any movement

Cheers. I need to move the top half away from the side where the lock is.

 

[crank39]

Clockwise then

Great. Thanks again

Morning All

Quick update. Have now established Iocking problem due to multi lock not door position. Ie it sticks whether door in closed or open position. I’ve added some photos to show the roller lock in the open and closed positions. You can see gap under roller where mechanism not fully closing, (if you pull it manually, it closes and then key turns in lock)

I can add GT85, but think the gearbox probably gone. I can remove screws to check, but wondered if you recognised this 30 year old design. (Two rollers, two hooks and deadbolt etc)

(I know you can just replace gearbox with some systems)

Many thanks again,
