Hiring the services of a professional craftsman is not very cheap, so you should resort to this option when last resort. After reading the short instructions, you yourself can understand how to adjust the plastic balcony door. Saving money will please the family budget, and pride in the work you do yourself will strengthen self-confidence.

The balcony door needs adjustment periodically, detailed instructions later in the article

Main parts of a plastic door

Any design includes basic and auxiliary parts (see Figure No. 1). Before starting setup, you should mandatory familiarize yourself with the structure of the mechanism. It is important to correctly understand how the fittings used in the design work.

Standard composition of parts for a plastic balcony door (Figure No. 1)

The doors usually include:

• PVC profiles connected by fasteners and forming a frame;
• a sash made in the same way as the frame;
• loops on which the canvas is held;
• handle and latch used to close, open and switch to ventilation mode;
• rubber seals ensuring reliable tightness;
• glass unit

You should know! The list of main and auxiliary parts may change due to the presence of different functions. The main assembly is equipped with closers, stoppers, etc.

Failure Prevention

Before you start adjusting the fittings of a plastic door, you should study prevention methods that will help reduce or completely avoid the need for adjustment. They consist of correct operation and the correct selection of working parts.

At the purchasing stage, make sure that the weight of the sash is commensurate with the load that the closing mechanisms can withstand. Many types of fittings can withstand a door weight of 100-150 kg. Check out technical characteristics to make sure you make the right choice.

If the sash is open, try not to jerk it sharply. Careless handling of the system will require very frequent adjustments or repairs with replacement of parts.

Some sashes are heavy and require a sagging compensator to be installed. It looks like a specially shaped lever or roller.

Balcony door adjustment

Adjusting the plastic door in different directions (Figure No. 2)

Self-adjustment of plastic door parts is based on a specific problem. There are several of them: poor sash pressure, sagging, unsteady handle, shift in seating level. Once you understand what problem you have to solve, take necessary tools: screwdrivers and hexagons.

Pressure adjustment

The clamping density should be adjusted depending on the transition to the warm or cold season. The frequency of such a procedure requires studying the instructions for self-adjustment of plastic doors by each owner.

Table of door clamp adjustment values ​​(Figure No. 3)

Take a sheet of paper, place it between the sash and the frame, this way you can check the tightness of the clamp. The sheet of paper should not be pulled out after closing the window with a pen. If it moves freely, then the sash must be adjusted. First, look for locking mechanisms on the structure; they affect the clamping density. Take a key or pliers to work, rotate the locks until you achieve a sufficient degree of clamping.

The eccentrics should be adjusted if the plastic door to the balcony does not close tightly. Pick up hexagons the right size, pliers may also be required. Adjust the rear part using the screws located on the hinges. Instructions with their exact location are issued along with the fittings, but even in its absence there should be no problems.

Adjusting the trunnions (Figure No. 4)

Adjusting the sash force (Figure No. 5)

Increasing the clamping density of the front part is carried out by rotating the trunnion (see Figure No. 4-5) in one direction, and loosening it in the other. Focus on the special serif, it is found on all types of fittings. This way you can press the door tighter in winter and looser in summer.

Adjusting the door when rubbing against the edges of the frame

If there is a shift in the landing level of the door, it begins to rub against the edges of the frame. To fix this you need to adjust the bolts in the hinges. Typically, the door is attached to three latches, which allows it to be adjusted in three directions (see Figure No. 2):

1. horizontally– the distance between the box and the canvas on the hinge side is set;
2. vertically– the height of the canvas relative to the box is adjusted;
3. frontally– the pressure to the sealing rubber bands is adjusted.

Open the door completely, unscrew the fasteners that secure the decorative closing strip. Then close the door and remove the decorative element from the fixing points. You must gain access to the bolt that determines the horizontal tilt. The horizontal is set by adjusting all the hinges. If the door sags, it is enough to tighten two bolts at the top and bottom so that the vertical becomes normal.

The handle is loose

The most common problem concerns the closing handle. Loosening occurs during hard use, sharp turns, or not fully tightened bolts. Also, do not hang bags or other heavy objects on the handle. In addition to becoming loose, this can cause the entire window to become skewed. The profile frame itself is not light, and additional load on it is extremely undesirable.

The photo shows how to rotate the plastic cover (Figure No. 6)

You can get to the mounting bolts by turning the plastic cap at the base of the handle a quarter turn (see Figure No. 6). Tighten the loose bolts and check their functionality. If this was not enough, there may be a crack on the part. Carefully inspect the material; if damage is found, the handle will have to be replaced.

There are times when the opposite happens - the handle moves too tightly. The problem can be solved if you lubricate the lock special mixture. Be careful that it does not contain acid or resin. The cause may also be incorrect positioning of the door in the opening. Adjust the position as described above.

Additional Information

It makes sense to adjust the door pressure only if the seal is not worn out. Otherwise, without installing a new rubber gasket, this parameter cannot be adjusted normally.

Replacing the door seal (Figure No. 7)

Pull out the old gasket using your hands (see Figure No. 7), clean the groove from dust and other small elements. Take the new seal and install it in place. Please note that the side bend should be positioned with end side doors The easiest way is to remove the door and begin installation, this way you will have easy access from the hinges. It is better to buy a seal from the same company as the profiles.

We insert the seal from the top side

You can increase the life of the seal using a silicone compound. Lubricate the entire surface of the rubber with it to protect it from drying out. Elastic rubber does not crack when deformed, remains intact long time.

Removing the door from its hinges

A home craftsman who maintains mechanisms on his own should know how to remove a plastic door from its hinges. This task may need to be performed in different situations. Proper removal will help avoid damage to the fittings and the door as a whole.

First, let's decide on the type of loops (click to enlarge the photo):

Design features plastic doors are not much different from entrance doors. The box is installed in the doorway, one part of the hinges is attached to it. On door leaf attach a part to a friend. The number of loops is 3-4 pieces, to ensure an even load.

The distance from each other is the same. The top and bottom are set along the line of the box. By using decorative elements hide the hinges from view. This is how integrity and attractiveness are achieved appearance designs.

Reasons for dismantling

Removal is often required during renovations in a room, when replacing or adjusting plastic balcony door. Let's take a closer look at cases in which dismantling may be required:

1. Need for adjustment. Some parts break and require adjustment, it is easier to do this process with removed door.
2. Replacing parts or blades. If a part breaks beyond repair, it must be completely replaced. In this case, you will not be able to do without dismantling. Replacing the blade will require the same steps.
3. Safety during repairs. Serious renovation work may pose a threat to the integrity of the door. In this case, you can cover it, but even better - remove it.
4. It may be necessary to remove the canvas when the dimensions of the furniture do not allow it to be brought into the room. This will help to slightly widen the available passage.

Whatever the reason, the canvas must be removed without damage and just as carefully put back in place.

Instructions for removing balcony doors

Removing the doors occurs in several stages. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

• Removing decorative elements. The first step is to gain access to the hinges. Close the door without turning the handle, pry the trim with a blunt object so as not to damage the plastic, and bend it slightly.
• Separating hinge elements. Press down on the top of the hinge, this will push the center pin down. Pull it out completely using pliers.
• Removing the door. Take the canvas from both sides, tilt it slightly toward you and pull it up. This should disconnect the loops. It is better to carry out the procedure together, since the structure will be quite heavy.

Conclusion

Many owners of apartments and houses have switched to using double-glazed windows, given their durability, ease of use, good performance heat preservation. How to regulate faulty ones plastic doors balcony, any self-respecting head of the family should understand. Such structures are used on balconies, loggias, and for access to the courtyard of a private house. Self-configuration will save money, make the transition to winter and summer period, avoid poor-quality service from third-party specialists. Before starting work, carefully study the manual so as not to spoil the parts. After performing the adjustment several times, you will not experience difficulties in the future.

User survey

Did you manage to solve the problem yourself using our article?

As a rule, metal-plastic doors have increased reliability and stability; they do not require regular adjustment, however, an annual inspection by a specialist once a year will not be superfluous. Therefore, even if you see no apparent reason to call a specialist, preventive maintenance should be done once a year in the proper manner.

Example of front adjustment of a plastic door

Most common faults

When using plastic doors, the following malfunctions can often occur, which cause a lot of unpleasant sensations during operation:

The malfunctions listed above can be corrected on your own, even without the help of a specialist. To do this, you will need a small set of tools and the desire to fix the balcony door or entrance group.

To adjust a metal-plastic door, you will need a 4 mm hex key.

Existing options for adjusting a metal-plastic door

As a rule, all manufacturers of door hinges and other accessories focus on these dimensions for ease of use.

Adjust yourself plastic doors possible by following the following procedure:

Thus, you can answer the simple question of how to adjust a metal-plastic balcony or entrance door. The video shows how to adjust a plastic door.

Door adjustment information

To get rid of door sagging yourself, you should consider some points regarding adjustment information, namely:

Taking into account all this information, you can perform the procedure for adjusting the structure yourself without resorting to the help of specialists.

Vertical work

The most common malfunction of plastic interior and entrance doors is hidden in their weight and corresponding sagging; in this case, it is necessary to perform the correct vertical adjustment:

Instructions for adjusting hinges vertically

It is worth noting that for the best effect, the same procedure should be done with the balcony door, in other words, when pulling the doors to the vertical post, it is advisable to support the load on the hinge with additional adjustment from below.

If there are problems with door pressing, it is impossible to get rid of such problems using vertical adjustment. To do this, you need to turn the screws on the strike plate and move it slightly deeper relative to its current position.

Scheme for setting up sash pressure

Pressure adjustment is carried out using a screw located in the middle of the striker on the side of the door opposite the hinges. IN in this case adjustment door hinge is optional, since it does not directly affect the pressing of the sash to the frame.

Sections of the article:

Adjusting plastic doors is a process that is designed to eliminate all sorts of problems that have arisen during the use of the structure. No matter how expensive the door and its components are, items always break, especially those that are used frequently.

Door adjustments are most often required because the hinges can weaken and become loose. As a result, the door is uneven, and a draft blows from the opened cracks. The root cause of failure is the wear of individual parts, but their quality also plays a significant role. That’s why you shouldn’t skimp on quality, so that you don’t have to think about adjusting the plastic door in the future.

If you have problems with a plastic door, but don’t want to contact the experts, you can fix the damage yourself. But for this you need to prepare and find out the answers to the following questions:

• Where in the door are the parts intended for adjustment located?
• What problems can generally arise with plastic doors and how to solve them;
• How exactly is a plastic door adjusted?

What is responsible for regulation?

To adjust the door, you will need a hexagon with a diameter of 4 millimeters (most often), sometimes pliers will be useful.

The first adjustment unit can be found on the bottom door hinge, by turning it with a hexagon, you can raise or lower the door, depending on the direction of twist.

A necessary tool.

Here you can also find a node that moves the bottom of the door to the right or left. Sometimes the adjusting screws are covered with protective caps that are easy to find and remove. To move the top of the door to the left or right, you need to twist the screw located at the top hinge.

Door downforce to door frame adjust the eccentrics, which can be found throughout the door body. By twisting them, you can achieve precise adjustment of plastic doors and their tightness by changing the pressure in separate areas. In doors with a tilt-and-turn operating principle, there is a way to adjust the pressure of the entire upper part. To do this, you need to turn the screw located at the top of the door.

Getting to this screw is quite difficult; you need to put the door in both the ventilation mode and the “wide open” mode. A built-in mechanism that can be bypassed protects against such opening. You just need to open the door, align the plate that is located at the end of the door near the handle (parallel to the rubber seal) and turn door handle in ventilation mode. This is a rather complicated procedure, so to know exactly how to adjust a plastic door in this mode, we recommend that you watch the video.

Adjustment methods for various problems

To correct deficiencies, you need to know which screw is responsible for what, and for what problems you should turn it.

This is due to the complexity of the door design and the abundance of all kinds of screws, the incorrect twisting of which can lead to complete breakdown of the mechanism.

On request, adjusting plastic doors, you can find many videos from professional craftsmen, which will help in your work.

Sagging

Over time, the input protection sags under its own weight, and due to the fact that it is mounted in the air. This is one of the most common problems and at the same time unpleasant, since in this case the lower profile rubs against the frame, and when difficult cases the door becomes difficult to close. In this case, we will definitely have to worry about adjusting the plastic door before the situation gets worse.

Warping and sagging of the door.

To fix this problem, you need to lift the door up. This can be done using a special hole in the middle of the bottom loop. By inserting and turning the hexagon clockwise, we will raise the door higher. If you need to lower the door, you will have to turn it counterclockwise.

In the case where the frame only touches the part of the door opposite the hinges, horizontal adjustment of the top hinge will help. By inserting the tool into the hole and turning it clockwise, we will tighten upper section doors are closer to the frame.

Top hinge adjustment.

Adjusting plastic doors against sagging can be done independently, but to know the purpose of all screws and connectors, you need instructions from the manufacturer.

Friction on the box

If, when closing and opening, the door rubs against the frame, you need to know how to adjust the mechanism by moving the plastic doors to the left or right. First, we move the lower part by turning the hex key in the connector in the lower hinge, and then do the same trick with the upper one.

Bad pressure

If a draft is blowing from your door, then most likely the pressure of the door to the frame has weakened. This can be corrected by adjusting the plastic door, namely the eccentrics. The mechanism of their operation is that when closing, the eccentric climbs behind the pressure plate.

Eccentrics of a plastic door.

It follows from this that to increase the pressure it is necessary to turn each of the connectors exactly the same way. You should not assume that the stronger the twist, the more reliable the clamp; with extreme pressure, the seal may dry out and stop doing its job. Experts recommend loosening the pressure in summer time, To give sealing rubber a little freedom and provide a little additional ventilation in the house.

Difficult closing

Another common problem with plastic doors is that you need to apply force to close them. Most often, force is required when turning the handle.

Such symptoms indicate winter mode eccentrics, and to make closing easier, you need to loosen the screws.

Before adjusting plastic doors, you need to watch a training video to know the required tightening level.

Another reason for difficult closing may be a clogged door mechanism. In mild cases, you can get by with complete lubrication, in difficult situations you will have to disassemble the door and clean the system.

If the door is used for a long time, the handle may become loose. To correct this problem, rotate the top plate of the handle base and tighten the bolts underneath it.

Adjusting doors with GreenteQ hinge

If the door is heavy (more than 40 kg) and is often used, in most cases it is equipped with GreenteQ type hinges. Adjusting plastic doors, especially on your own, can be a problem, so before starting work it is recommended to watch a video of the process. They can be adjusted in three planes:

• Vertical;
• Horizontal;
• Press to the box.

To access the hinges, you need to remove the plastic protection from them, which is quite easy to do. To raise or lower such a door, insert the hexagon into the socket located at the bottom of the hinge and adjust by twisting to one side. Remember that the adjustment of plastic doors begins with the bottom hinge, and then the middle and top ones are adjusted to it, which can be done independently.

To move the doors left or right, screw in or out the screw located in each hinge under the decorative mask.

To adjust the level of pressure, insert a hex key from the top end of the loop, and use circular movements to change the position of each of them. Now you know how to properly adjust displaced or weakened plastic doors using your own hands.

So, adjusting PVC doors is a simple process, but it requires care and perseverance when doing it yourself. Now you know how to adjust a plastic door without calling specialists to your home.

Plastic windows and doors - great option for apartments and houses. But they do not last forever, and it happens that problems arise with the balcony door. If this happened within warranty period, professionals from the installer will deal with the problem completely free of charge. But after the warranty ends, repairs can be expensive. We will tell you how to properly adjust a plastic balcony door with your own hands and save money.

When the door needs adjustment

Balcony doors made of metal-plastic usually do not require preventive adjustment. If you have no complaints about how they work, then you don’t need to do anything.

But if you notice that the door is starting to function differently than it should, then this is a sure sign that adjustment is necessary.

The most common signs are the following.

We make the adjustment ourselves

Whatever the cause of the problem, you may need the following tools to fix it:

When sagging

If, when opening, the balcony door touches the frame with the lower edge of the sash, the sagging should be eliminated by adjusting it. To do this, the door leaf is “moved” up and shifted to its upper hinge.

Step-by-step instruction:

Note! Some hardware systems are equipped with adjusting screws for an asterisk key, and not for a standard hexagon. If necessary, it is better to buy such a key in advance.

When touched in the middle part

In this case, the sash needs to be moved closer to the hinges.

Usually this procedure is enough for the sash to stop clinging to the frame.

Pressure adjustment

The pressing force of the door leaf to the frame is adjusted using locking elements. They are located on the sash itself. Most fittings are equipped with locking elements in the form of eccentrics. Rotate them using pliers or an adjusting wrench until the pressure is optimal.

To achieve greater efficiency, please review the corresponding schemes in the instructions or on the website of the hardware manufacturer.

Pressure adjustment

It is usually recommended to adjust the pressure twice a year: in the winter, set a tighter pressure, in the summer - looser.

Handle adjustment

This is the most simple task, which you can easily cope with a short time. A common problem with handles is that they become loose over time.

Handle adjustment

1. Rotate the plastic cap at the base of the pen 90 degrees.
2. Tighten the exposed screws with a screwdriver. Do this carefully so as not to damage the pen body.
3. If the play does not disappear after tightening the screws, this may indicate a crack in the handle body. In this case, the handle needs to be replaced.

Preventative measures for problems

It is very important to be able to correctly adjust balcony doors in case of problems. But it’s even more useful to know how to prevent these problems, or at least make sure you encounter them as little as possible.

1. When choosing windows and balcony doors made of metal-plastic profiles, pay attention to the characteristics of the fittings. They must exactly match the weight of the door leaf. Most fitting systems from modern manufacturers allow the installation of sashes weighing up to 130 kg. Usually this is enough.
2. The so-called microlift, or sagging compensator, will help prevent the sash from sagging due to its own weight. This detail is necessary for heavy door leaves with large dimensions or with a two-chamber package. The design of this element can be different: from a small lever on the side of the sash to a roller on its lower part.
3. Install an opening limiter - a special support rail. This will help prevent the sash from jamming and sagging.

In addition, it will be useful to check the installation of the door. Please pay attention to the following parameters:

• how tightly the door is pressed against the frame profile around the perimeter;
• whether there is a vertical displacement of the sash;
• How static is the door leaf when in the open position.

If the installation of the plastic balcony door was carried out correctly, then you may need adjustment very soon.

Using our advice, you will protect yourself from unnecessary financial expenses. Share with us your experience in adjusting PVC doors. Good luck to you!

Plastic doors are widespread almost everywhere: they are readily installed in industrial, public and residential buildings, since their cost is very reasonable. But along with the undoubted advantages, these designs also have a disadvantage: from time to time they have to be adjusted.

Fortunately, this procedure is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. And if you at least know approximately which side you need to grasp the screwdriver from, you will be able to handle it yourself without calling a specialist.

All you need is a modest set of tools and our article, from which you will learn how to properly adjust the structure and when, in fact, it needs to be done.

When to start adjusting?

Most users of plastic doors realize the need for adjustment already when the signs of “disease” become more than noticeable:

• the canvas closes and opens with difficulty, clinging to the frame;
• the lock handle barely turns;

• despite the closed doors and airy thermal curtain above the door that is being described, from the side of the block you can feel an invigorating flow of cool air, as if there was no canvas at all.

But it is not at all necessary to bring it to such a deplorable state.

Techniques that can help you determine when you need to start making adjustments.

A clear sign that a plastic door requires your attention is wrinkles on the seal. Carefully inspect the sealing cord around the entire perimeter of the opening. If damage is detected, do not hesitate to proceed with adjustments, even if everything is still functioning quite well.

Tip: to protect the seal from irreversible deformation, coat it with a silicone-based compound.

Open the plastic door slightly and leave it in that position, standing still and trying not to breathe. If adjusted properly, it will remain motionless; if it is skewed, it will spontaneously close or open. Of course, the results of the experiment should not be affected by drafts of natural origin or from fast-moving household members.

The graphic method is also quite witty. To implement it you will need a pencil and a damp cloth. Having previously taken a position on the side opposite to the opening of the door, close it and draw four frames along the contour of the door leaf (perimeter) along the racks and horizontal slats straight lines, using them like a ruler In order to evaluate the results of your creativity, the door must be opened. Ideally, the drawn lines and edges of the canvas will be parallel. Deviations from parallelism will tell you in which direction and at what angle the misalignment occurred. Upon completion of the diagnosis, do not forget to wipe everything with a damp cloth.

Another simple test will check the uniformity of door pressure. Place a sheet of newsprint so that when closing it is sandwiched between the door leaf and the frame. Now pull out the paper, remembering the force you had to apply to do this. Now, in the same way, insert the sheet a little higher or a little lower and pull it towards you again.

In addition to eliminating distortions, seasonal adjustments should be made to the pressure of plastic doors that separate the room from the street. With the onset of cold weather, the pressure on the door leaf must be strengthened to make the closure as tight as possible and thus prevent cold air from entering the warm room. When the thermometer column creeps up, the clamp will need to be loosened. Leave the door with “winter” settings on summer season is impractical, since under conditions of increased pressure, the seal and block mechanisms quickly wear out.

Let's start adjusting

If you decide to make the adjustment yourself, please prepare the following tools:

• a set of keys with a hexagonal profile (for some door models you may need keys with an asterisk profile);
• screwdrivers with straight and Phillips blades;
• pliers.

You can find out what to do if the key is stuck in the door lock.

To adjust metal-plastic doors we will use special screws that are installed in hinged mechanisms (hinges) under decorative overlay. There are three such screws on each hinge and each of them has its own zone of influence. Simply put, each screw pulls the door in its own direction.

Let's figure out in what cases and where exactly it needs to be pulled.

Horizontal adjustment

Distortion in the position of the door leaf often occurs due to its sagging. If the deviations reach critical values, the door begins to cling to the upper part when closing vertical stand boxes (from the handle side) and behind the part of the threshold farthest from the hinge post.

The door may also rub along the entire length of the vertical post due to thermal expansion. In the first case, the door must be pressed against the hinge post only in the upper part, in the second - along the entire length. This is what horizontal adjustment is all about.

To implement this, it is necessary to use the longest of the adjusting screws, which have a horizontal location. By pulling it, we will move the door in the direction of the hinge post. If it is necessary to eliminate the distortion from sagging, tighten the screw more firmly on the top hinge and a little less on the middle one. If you are struggling with the result of temperature deformation, tighten the screws evenly on all three hinges.

What to do if insulation is necessary metal doors, read.

Vertical adjustment

If the door only catches the threshold, and along its entire length, then it simply “slipped” down without creating a distortion. In this case, they resort to vertical adjustment of the door, that is, to lift it or, as happens when installed incorrectly or due to the same temperature expansions, lowering.

The screw that needs to be operated in this case is located vertically, and its head is located at the lower end of the loop. By tightening this screw, we will raise the door, and by loosening it, we will lower it.

Pressure adjustment

By turning the third adjusting screw on each hinge, you can change the tightness of the door pressing against the seal from the side of the hinge post. In order to achieve the same from the handle side, you should first carefully examine the end of the door leaf.

Some models are equipped with three eccentrics, which, like the hinges, are located at the top, bottom and middle. The eccentrics should be turned with the same tool as the screws - a hexagon or asterisk.

Information about . may also attract your attention.

In other options, the door pressure on the handle side is adjusted by turning the locking pin located on the frame. This trunnion, as a rule, has a notch, by the position of which one can judge the degree of compaction.

Also, to strengthen or weaken the clamping density, you can change the position of the strikers located on door frame. Like the hinges, they are equipped with adjustment screws.

“Figure correction” for a plastic door

If adjusting the hinges of a plastic door did not save the situation, it means either they have exhausted their service life, or the door has “floated”, turning from a rectangle into a parallelogram. In both cases, through simple operations you can try to change its shape:

1. Using a chisel or knife, carefully pry off the glazing beads that hold the glass unit in place. In this case, it is important to remember or mark the position of the beads so that upon completion of the operation, each of them can be returned exactly to its place.
2. While pressing the glass unit, install additional plastic gaskets. The frame of the door leaf will tighten slightly, changing its shape.
3. Place the beads in place. During installation, they are lightly tapped with a rubberized hammer or reverse side screwdrivers, if its handle is made of soft polymer material.

Handle adjustment

You can tighten a loose handle with a very simple technique.

In the place where the handle is attached to the door leaf, there is a small plate that can be rotated around the same axis as the handle.

If, after increasing the pressure, the handle begins to turn more tightly, this is normal. But if you have to exert too much force to turn it, then you have overdone the pressure or the door needs to be checked for distortion. Well, if the handle barely turns even by open door– it’s time to lubricate the mechanism or look for a replacement.

We have learned how to adjust plastic doors ourselves, but is there anything we can do to make sure we have to do this as little as possible? From unnecessary hassle the owner of a PVC door will be spared the installation of two devices:

1. Door opening limiter. During operation, the door can often open wide open so that the leaf rests against the slope. In this case, the door mechanisms are subjected to significant loads (the door leaf acts as a lever), which causes their imbalance. The door opening limiter is designed to prevent these phenomena.
2. Microlift. Even in the closed position, the door continues to hang on its hinges, which sooner or later leads to sagging. At this moment, she really needs support, which only a microlift can provide. It looks like a roller or plate on which closed door leans, unloading the awnings.

It is best to ask the supplier to install these mechanisms at the stage of ordering the door, but some of their varieties can be installed even if the plastic door has already been manufactured and installed in place.
