A flag hinge is comprised of two parts; one part is attached to the door sash, while the other is attached to the frame of the door or an adjacent structure. The hinge components are joined via a rod or pin which acts as the hinge's axis. The hinges and sash can be seen on the inside of the doors but they are hidden when the door is closed, to give it a clean and smooth appearance.

A butt hinge looks like a standard flag hinge, but it is mounted on the back side of the sash. It also doesn't extend quite as far as the hinge for the flag. The butt hinge can also be hidden when the door is closed to give it a clean modern, sleek appearance.

You will probably notice that the edges at the top and bottom of the door have gaps. This is where the hinges are installed. On the hinge plate, you will also see the screw holes. You can adjust the height (up and down) of the hinge by using these slots.

A butt hinge comprises two parts: one that is fixed to the frame and the other one is attached to the profile of the door sash. The hinge is connected to the rod or pin via a pin.

Lastly, you can find rebate uPVC hinges on older doors but they are becoming less common nowadays. The rebate uPVC is similar to the hinges that are flags, but it can be repositioned laterally and in compression.

Before making any adjustments it's important to check that your door is level. Place the level on top the door and look for gaps between the frame and the door. If there is an opening at the top or bottom of the door, this is a sign that the door is out of alignment and must be adjusted.

To make the adjustment first, you must determine the type of hinges are on your door made of uPVC. There are three types of hinges: T hinges (flag hinges) as well as rebate hinges (rebate hinges) and flag hinges. The adjustment method varies slightly according to the type. Flag hinges, commonly found on modern uPVC doors are rectangularly shaped and are named for the fact they resemble flags. They offer the most control when it comes to changing the position of the size of a uPVC door that allows you to move them laterally (side-to-side) or vertically and close them closer to the door jamb, which is called compression. T hinges function in the same way as flag hinges, except that the part that connects to the door is located in the middle of the hinge. These hinges can be adjusted laterally and vertically but not as tight as rebate or flag hinges.

Then, find the screw or grub screw the one that controls each hinge and loosen it with an Allen key. To make a vertical adjustment you may need to loosen both the screws on the top and bottom. For lateral side-to-side adjustments, you may only require the screw on the door side of the hinge.

Check your uPVC to determine if it is now properly aligned in the frame. If not, you may have to adjust the hinges or replace them.

Remember, it's important to keep in mind that the door that you have installed has been sloppily aligned for a long period of time, it could indicate that hinges are beginning to wear out and require replacement. It's a fairly straightforward procedure that is covered by the warranty or guarantee of the installer.Replacement-Doors-300x200.jpg
