Patio doors hinge adjustment to close gap

Stewie_UK

Hi All!

Does anyone know how to adjust these patio door hinges? I believe they have 2 (possibly 3) adjustment points but I don't know which direction/angle they adjust. I really appreciate any advice and guidance that people can offer.

I have a gap at the top that is worst where the doors join. The far side of the door needs to be raised, I think.

Thanks in advance!

You may able to prise off the caps at the top and bottom of these hinges. Under the caps you should find some adjustment screws. The bottom one should raise/lower the door. The top one should adjust compression, i.e how close the the face of the door is to the frame. There may be another adjuster under the big cover on the hinge, allowing the door to be moved laterally to adjust the gaps on each side of the door.

These adjusters may need Allen (Hex) keys,,and will only give a few millimetres of movement. Adjust all the hinges by the same amount. Look for dots or lines engraved on the hinges and aim to get them all pointing the same way.

You may then need to adjust the keeps on the lock side of the frame, so the latches engage properly and hold the door tight to the frame.

Looks like a Yale 3-D flag hinge. If you follow the link below and scroll to bottom you'll find some instructions. You'll need to slacken the Phillips screw seen in your picture before adjusting the hinge, and tighten it afterwards. It grips the adjusting pin.
