course, you cancall the professionals who quickly troubleshoot and adjust the mechanism, but do not always have such an opportunity - to come to the call immediately.More often have to wait a few days.Therefore, it is desirable to independently master these skills and, if necessary, with a minimum set of tools to perform tuning loops of plastic doors with their hands.

About plastic door

When you work on the installation of the new doors made of plastic, the specialists must perform once in place regulation works.For a while, the door will not work satisfactory, but over time, given the fact that the door is heavy, it can be a little "sit down" and will be closed badly.

Despite all recorded questions when buying a door, its excellent quality and proven company that will install the door, it is desirable to be present during commissioning and make sure that you really have such a service.

After adjustment loop plastic door is complete, you must pay attention to the following:

  1. Door frame should be tightly pressed against the box around the perimeter.
  2. Check mechanical door: the door must be easily opened and closed.If it is opened or closed with force, a scratch, this means that the adjustment is not performed to the end.
  3. To check the verticality of the door, you should use the building level.
  4. Open the door, but not completely, and up to half, and see open (closed) it is arbitrary or not.This testing should be carried out under the condition of complete absence of wind and drafts.If the door is adjusted according to the rules, it must remain immovable.

How to determine the density of pressing the door

This knowledge will not only check the work of professionals, but also to identify possible deviations in the mechanism.

If the door is closed tight, or going up to her, you feel a strong flow of air, it indicates that it is time to perform the adjustment.

To check if the door is well pressed to the box, you need to perform this test:

  1. Take a sheet of paper (do not add!).Get
  2. sheet between the door frame and the box.
  3. door shut tightly.
  4. Pull the edge of the sheet over, pull it out, paying attention to the force with which the paper is pulled.
  5. The operation around the perimeter of the door.

If several sections of the paper is removed easily, then fit the door in order.If somewhere you exert effort, it means that a perfect seal is broken.

sagging doors can be seen as follows: take an ordinary pencil and draw the open sash around the perimeter.Lines must be placed parallel to the edge of the box door, if there is a deviation - adjustment is necessary.

Identifying other problems

One of the common problems is the front plastic door:

  • lower zatvorka (part) touches the edge of the door frame (of the threshold).This indicates sagging shutters, which bends under its own weight.This is due to the fact that the great mass of the door leaf takes on glazing, and if you have installed double glazed windows with glass thicker than 4 millimeters, over time will weaken under the weight of the loop, and the door leaf begin to move;

slit

  • leaf touches the middle of the frame.The reason - the lateral displacement of the sash due to the weather conditions (temperature changes), or other factors.In most cases, such a shift is eliminated by adjusting the input loops of plastic doors;
  • shutter is pressed to the frame is not tight, and from under the seal passes the airflow.It is necessary to adjust the clamp door;
  • staggering handle.
