My friends conservatory door has dropped. The hinge mechanism is below.
The type I'm familiar with can be adjusted for height with a 6mm Allen key but this is different.
I've managed to lif the pin thinking it is a cover but I think it is the pin holding the hinge together...
Can this hinge be adjusted for height, if so, how.
Looks like you loosen the Philips screws and lever up
Nope, tried that already, those screws move the hinge left-right.
Cannot dismiss the fact that no adjustment is possible in which case how to raise the door.
Could it be a case of: remove the pivot pin, fit shims, refit pin? By shims, I mean washers of assorted thicknesses.
Doesn't look as though there is any way to adjust the height, without lifting the whole hinge?
Our back door has the same hinge, and started catching. What I did was use those left-right philips screws so that the bottom came out and the top
came in, thereby lifting the far edge up.
You should also find that the hinges screw into the door case (in my case it's another three self tappers), if you loosen those off you should
get yourself a couple of millimetres adjustment on the entire door.
The problem it s likely to be nothing to do with the hinge's. The door Will need toe and heeling. Remove glazing beads and fit packers between the glass and frame.
as above to toe and heal the door remove glazing beads and fit packers to the bottom of glass thats in the corner bottom and corner side next to bottom hinge and do the same to the opposite corner at the top be care full that glass dosent fall out the easiest way is for two man job while glazing bars removed pull door to almost closed and use crow bar inbitween frame and door to lift at bottom corner opposite hinge whilst in lifted position fit packers in the gaps on the toe and heal corners
