COMPOSITE STABLE DOOR Help please

GT60

Hi we have the above and it has been a pain since we bought it several years ago.
The hinges keep on moving and either you can open the full door together or if you open the door in the two havles your are fghting to close it again( as if the door had worped)
In The end the window company replaced the door as it was getting damage, but not the frame this was after a fight and the door company who made the door went bust.

But since the New door was fitted the window company has been out again 4 times in the year (08 - 09) to reajust the hinges.
Now they are Blaming the Children saying that one of them is swinging on it to cause the hinges to move.:mad:
We have only just started to open the door in the two halves after the cold snap and it is now catching again.
Any advice please Niall.

that too me looks like a global door .the hinges on it are not very good they are not chopped into the door like they are on a rockdoor(totally different far better hinge)we have four butt hinges which are similiar on a upvc door which arnt as heavy as composite doors .seen a few of these now with problems one was next to a customer who we fitted a rockdoor for in bury who had been supposedly sold a rockdoor

fensa do not give guarantees

So the problem we are having are to be expected?
What is a global door?
The hinges on the door are screwed on like a wooden door
this one is made by shepley.
Shepley Platinum Visage.

shepley used to buy composite doors in they didnt make the door just the frame

That's not a Global door. IIRC, they have never had butt hinges.
