Right to Left Hinge Adjustment

[NewShoes]

Morning folks,

Can anyone advise how I would go about adjusting the hinge on this door to the left? It appears to have slipped over time and the locking mechanisms are no longer catching on the bottom half of the door.

Cheers

Behind that square plastic bung there is an Allen bolt, 5mm if I remember rightly, turn clockwise and the door will move to the left, anti clockwise and it'll move to the right

Thanks @crank39 , that sorted it! I was curious though, is there a particular way that you ensure the middle hinge is in the correct position, the top and bottom hinges seem to do most of the positioning

Not really, you just really need to see how the door or doors for french doors sit in the frame, see where the door catches to determine which way it needs to be moved, it all comes with experience and having been a service engineer for close to 30 years. If for instance a master door on french doors is catching along the threshold you would automatically think it needs toe and heeling but what I would do is look how the door sits, if the gap between the doors is uniform all the way up, 9/10 it isn't and is wider at the bottom so I would use the lateral adjustment on the top and bottom hinges to lift the door using the middle hinge as the pivot point, it's very rare that I adjust a middle hinge

Interesting stuff, cheers again!
