How to quickly check if a uPVC door is sitting out of adjustment and needing readjusting

hi this is just a quick tutorial to check if your door is aligned properly or if it needs some adjustment I will follow up on another video how to adjust the door but this is a simple way to check come to your door I'm doing this freehand so open up your door push the handle down so it's in open position push your door over and Mark where your little rollers locking points are rollers mushrooms deadbolts and just give them a remark on the frame oh so if you just get a pencil in and just Mark where your roll or sit on the door and then open up your door and then again put your door into lock position push it against and this will show you where the rollers comes or the Locking points are sitting on the keep after ruler is sitting about Central that's fine if it's setting away over here the door needs to be adjusted that way so what once you've opened up your door just check your little marks and this will show you where they are aligned against the keep and this one here you can see is pretty much in the center if it was sitting say ignore the top line down here that's probably why your door's been sticking or you can't lock it properly you've got to pull the handle up and actually move the door up to get into lock so your door needs to go up the way this will also affect the center latch area because there's your doors dropped your latch won't latch in properly your deadbolt won't go in probably this door actually could be doing with being adjusted upwards because we're sitting right at the bottom so we could push us to what up about five mil just to get a better feel and look also if your door's a little bit rattly like you like it rattles it gonna be a bit of movement can come to these little cams normally take a four to five mil Allen key and you can turn these left or right so the roller either goes to this side of that side and that will help Push the door in and pull your handle up to peel the door in
