Every day, the door on the balcony is subjected to repeated opening and closing cycles. It is not surprising that over time, even reliable fittings fail. In case of insufficient pressure to the frame, jamming of the sash or incorrect response to the position of the handle, do not rush to contact the service department. The listed problems are solved easy adjustment plastic balcony door, for which you don’t have to be a professional. It is enough to have a hex key on hand and the knowledge gained after reading this manual.
Most problems with plastic balcony doors can be fixed on your own.
Before we look at how to adjust plastic balcony doors, let's understand their design and operating principle. The main components here are: double-glazed windows, a metal-plastic frame and tilt-and-turn fittings. The latter is responsible for opening, closing and tilting the sash.
The design of plastic doors and windows is identical. The only difference is their size and location.
Balcony fittings are a belt mechanism located along the perimeter of the door leaf. Control is carried out by a handle, the rotation of which leads to the movement of cylindrical locks relative to the counter plates installed on the fixed frame. The canvas is attached to the frame with special hinges that can carry the load created by a heavy metal-plastic frame with double-glazed windows.
Tilt and turn fittings are manufactured in such a way as to ensure convenient operation and easy setup. products For this purpose, the mechanism is equipped with several adjusting bolts, which allow:
- increase or decrease the pressure of the canvas to the frame;
- lower or raise the sash;
- adjust the horizontal position of the balcony door.

Problems with plastic doors and methods for eliminating them
Standard problems are solved by point adjustment. Almost all manufacturers produce plastic balcony doors using the same technology, so the mechanism settings are identical.
Pressure adjustment for insufficient sound and heat insulation
Plastic door and window designs are different high level sound insulation and thermal insulation. If the sound from the street calmly penetrates into the room, and in winter it is also accompanied by a cold air flow around the perimeter of the seal, the owners are sinning on the quality of the design by making claims to the manufacturing company. Usually the manufacturer has nothing to do with it, and the problem arises due to weak pressing of the sash to the frame.
The blade is pressed using special cylindrical eccentrics (trunnions). They are placed on the vertical ends - 4 on the front (from the handle side) and 2 on the back (from the hinges). Another 1 eccentric is located on top, directly on the scissors, which hold the sash in tilt mode.
Depending on the hardware manufacturer appearance trunnions may vary slightly
Inside the trunnion there is a hole with six edges, which allows you to adjust the plastic balcony door with a hex key. If you turn the eccentric mostly towards the rubber seal, the pressure will be maximum, respectively, if with a smaller part - minimum. The difference between the extreme positions of the trunnion is 2 mm, so the effect is noticeable.
If desired, the eccentrics can be adjusted several times a year. In winter, set the maximum pressure, in summer the minimum, and in spring/autumn set the trunnion to the middle position.
Pressure adjustment depending on the season
The door to the balcony does not close well - it has sagged/sagged
A situation often arises when door leaf rubs against the frame, which forces you to put more effort into closing the balcony. Adjusting the hinges (top or bottom) will help solve this problem.
The top hinge is equipped with an adjusting bolt, which can be reached by opening the sash 90°. Rotating the bolt clockwise causes the top edge of the blade to be pulled towards the loop. Accordingly, rotating the bolt counterclockwise causes the opposite effect - the upper edge moves away from the hinge.
Adjusting the hinge of a plastic balcony door is carried out with the same tool as adjusting the trunnions
The bottom hinge has the same screw to adjust the horizontal position of the bottom edge. In this case, adjustments can be made both from the outside and from the inside. In both cases, you need to rotate the screw with the door open and check its operation after every 2 turns.
The lower loop is most often adjusted from the inside, since the slope interferes with the outside
The lower hinge performs another function - it allows you to lower or raise the sash. A vertical screw located at the top of the mechanism is designed for this. To get to it, you must first remove the decorative trim. Rotating the screw clockwise raises the door leaf, and counterclockwise causes it to lower.
Vertical adjustment can be made when the balcony door is in locked position or tilt mode
In the process of adjusting the position of the sash, it is important to maintain balance, since if you eliminate a problem in one place, you can get it in another. It is advisable to immediately determine where exactly the canvas rubs against the frame and, based on this, adjust the upper or lower hinge.
Advice: it is enough to make 2 turns of the adjusting bolt to see the effect and understand in which direction to move next.
Opening the door in two positions at once
Incorrect adjustment of the fittings can lead to the opening of the balcony door in two modes at once - rotary and inclined. This can happen in the following cases.
In tilt mode, the lower corner of the sash is not fixed
If, when you turn the handle up, the door leaf not only reclines to the ventilation mode, but also opens completely, most likely the bottom of the sash has shifted towards the hinge. At the bottom of the end on the handle side there is a special lock that fixes the angle in tilt mode. For it to work correctly, the lock must fit into the mate located on the frame. If the angle is excessively shifted, locking does not occur, and the door opens in any position of the handle.
To fix the problem yourself, adjust the bottom hinge of the balcony door. Following the technology described in the previous section, slightly remove the door leaf from the hinge, thereby bringing the “problem” corner closer to the counterpart of the lock.
For normal operation the lock may be missing a couple of millimeters, so you should check the result after each turn
In the rotation mode, the door tilts at the same time
The problem is the sagging of the door leaf, in which the pressing eccentric located on the scissors does not reach the counterpart and does not fix the upper corner in the rotary mode. Therefore, when the handle is in a horizontal position, the sash not only rotates, but also tilts.
The solution to the problem is simple. It is enough to lift the door slightly when closed so that the upper eccentric fits into the groove of the mating part and fixes the angle. The procedure is performed by adjusting the lower loop.
To eliminate unintentional tilt, just make a few turns clockwise

How to tighten a loose handle in 1 minute:
Self-service of plastic balcony doors
To make a plastic balcony door long term worked properly, apart from correct adjustment, periodically lubricate the seal and fittings. Manufacturers recommend lubricating these components at least once a year, before the start of the cold season.
Seal lubrication
The rubber seal can quickly dry out and crack if it is not lubricated in time. In addition, dry rubber often sticks to plastic frame, that leads to unpleasant sound when opening the sash.
Without lubrication, the seal will have to be replaced every 2-3 years. Whereas with regular maintenance, its service life can be increased to 10 years.
The procedure is carried out using silicone lubricant, after first cleaning the rubber from dirt and debris. Liquid silicone is applied to a dry surface with a sponge or soft cloth. Some craftsmen use an aerosol for such purposes. However, in this case, the consumption will be an order of magnitude higher, since part of the material will be sprayed in vain, settling on furniture and interior items.
The best option for lubricating the rubber seal is a container with a foam tip.
Lubricating hardware
Sticking of the opening/closing mechanism is often caused by insufficient lubrication of the fittings. For such purposes, it is most convenient to use WD-40 lubricant, which has high penetrating ability. Lubricate all the locks located around the perimeter of the door leaf, including the main mechanism to which the handle is attached. Also pay attention to scissors and loops.
After lubricating, close the door and turn the handle several times to activate the lock mechanism. This will help the lubricant penetrate into remote corners.
The WD-40 container is equipped with a thin nozzle for spot lubrication in hard-to-reach places

Self-adjustment and maintenance of a plastic balcony door is easy. To cope with the task, it is enough to understand where the adjustment and lubrication points are, and also have the desire to put the door structure in order.
IN Lately Plastic balcony doors are becoming increasingly popular. It is not only fashionable and modern, but also quite practical. They do not allow cold air or moisture to pass through, and street noise practically does not penetrate into the apartment. And they do not need periodic painting. However, in certain situations question about how to adjust the plastic balcony door, may become very relevant.
Identifying the problem with the balcony door
The heavy weight of the structure can often cause gaps to appear between the door frame and the wall. As a result, through the door, which has lost its tightness, it begins to blow and draft.
In order to identify a specific problem, a full inspection of the seal should be carried out with the sash open. At the place where the displacement occurred, you will notice a depressed mark from the sash. In addition, improper functioning of the handle may indicate a violation of the tightness. If its cranking to one degree or another...

As you know, it is through the balcony that most of the heat is lost. Moreover, the most vulnerable places are not only windows, but also the balcony door. Often the main cause of heat leakage is a poorly adjusted door.
Doors made of plastic and wood are quite heavy, so if it blows from the balcony door, most likely it has sagged.

A plastic door, like a window, needs periodic adjustment or elimination of minor faults. Repair of a plastic balcony door will be required even more often than in the case of windows, since the door is heavier and can sag under its own weight.
However, some problems can be resolved on your own:
Door pressure adjustment; problems with incomplete opening and closing; violation of the integrity of the seal; superficial scratches on the profile; loose locking fittings (handle).
However, when working independently, do not forget that during the warranty period it is better to call specialists.

Hello!
I recently discovered a gap in a large plastic double glazing. A gap appeared between the frame of the balcony door and the adjacent, non-opening window (see photo).
Near the window sill the gap is 2 mm wide, no more, then if you move upward, the gap narrows and after 30 cm it disappears completely.
Considering that there are no more cracks around the entire perimeter of the window, it is possible that the jamb occurred after the window was installed and did not appear in any way until -35 °C. Now that it has gotten colder, there is an unpleasant pull into the crack and a small condensation forms on the window (in the corner).
Tell me what can be used to repair this defect so as not to spoil the whiteness of the window and ensure airtightness?
There is also a small gap under the window sill (poorly filled with foam), how can I fill it?
PS: door gaskets in in perfect order.

This information is for those who have not yet acquired modern double-glazed windows and live in an apartment with old wooden windows. Every year, on the eve of winter, they have to decide on the issue of insulating the balcony door, but leave for themselves the possibility of access to the balcony.
Do-it-yourself insulation of a balcony
Most people, answering the question of how to insulate an old balcony door, will answer - install a new, plastic one. Yes, this is the most reasonable and effective solution, provided that there is money for it.
And even if they exist, but the person lives in a rented apartment, he has no need to spend money on improving someone else’s home. In such cases, old, time-tested methods help.
They may not add elegance and style to a room with an old balcony door, but they will allow you to survive the cold with maximum comfort.
Methods for insulating doors
So, what can you do if a wooden balcony door allows cold air into your apartment?

Thermal insulation of a home involves the implementation of a whole range of measures that are aimed at saving heat in the premises and preventing cold from entering outside. It is necessary to insulate not only the walls, but also all openings - windows, doors and balconies. Perhaps the most important role is played by the correct insulation of the balcony door, because it is from the open space of the loggia that the largest amount of cold air enters the apartment. Thermal insulation of the door is necessary in any case, even if the balcony itself is insulated. To prevent cold from entering the room, you should ensure that there are no cracks in the windows and doors. Almost all metal-plastic models cope with this task perfectly, but wooden doors have a fairly high throughput cold air from outside, so it is necessary to special attention treat their thermal insulation.
First of all, you need to decide how to insulate the balcony door. The traditional option is plastic wool...

About 50% of the lost heat leaves the apartment through windows in winter, and you can insulate yourself quickly, simply and inexpensively, so it makes complete sense to understand this issue in more detail. The primary task in this case is to insulate the windows with your own hands, but there are also questions general insulation a separate section is devoted to the premises.
It’s not very wise to start construction and repair work in the winter, so we’ll look at how to insulate an apartment, in most cases, without even moving the furniture. Nevertheless, the described procedures most often allow you to survive a winter with frosts of -20 in a destroyed Khrushchev block in sweatpants and a T-shirt, without spending too much on heating.
Heat transfer mechanisms and methods of controlling them
Back in school, we learned in physics that there are three mechanisms of heat transfer: direct heat transfer (thermal conduction), convection and thermal (infrared) radiation. In a cold apartment, all three occur:

Insulating a house is a large set of measures aimed at preserving internal heat and preventing the penetration of cold from the street. It is necessary to insulate all enclosing structures - windows, walls, doors.
Let's consider how to insulate a balcony door, since often the cold easily penetrates into the apartment from the balcony. Even if the balcony is glazed, additional insulation a door leading to the room would not be superfluous.
An example of insulating a door to a balcony
In order to prevent cold air from entering rooms, you need to work to ensure that there are no cracks in doors and windows. Modern plastic models, as a rule, provide sufficient tightness.
But if the doors leading to the balcony are old, made of wood, then cold air flows freely into the cracks they form. In this case, it’s worth thinking about how to insulate the door to the balcony. Moreover, it will not be so difficult to do this.
In the modern world, plastic windows and doors are very popular. They have a low weight of the entire structure, tightness and relatively low cost. However, over time, problems arise during their operation, which may require adjustment of the mechanisms.
We identify defects
The identified damage is usually visible to the naked eye:
- The door allows cold air into the room, the tightness of the structure is broken. In order to confirm the specified flaw, you need to perform some actions. A sheet of paper is clamped between the frame and the door, and the structure is locked. Afterwards the paper is pulled out. If it gives in, then the pressure is broken. The operation is carried out along the entire perimeter of the door leaf. In addition, the defect appears with the onset of frost. If the seal is broken, condensation forms on the double-glazed windows.
- Skewed or sagging door leaf. If the door has sagged, this can be easily identified using a pencil, which is used to trace the door when it is closed. In the case when, with the door open, the drawn line is parallel to the frame, it can be argued that there are no distortions. Under its weight, the door structure may sag. This becomes noticeable when, when opening, the sash touches the threshold, and when closed it forms a gap in the upper corner. Causes: constantly open doors, improper wedging during installation.
- Friction on the box. The door movement is difficult, the door leaf catches on the frame or creaks. If adjustments are not made for a long time, the top PVC layer is worn out, which can result in damage to the profile. Friction brings discomfort to the operation of the fittings, wearing them out and, as a result, causing them to fail.
- The handle is loose, fastenings are loose. Usually the reason is frequent use or wasteful attitude.
- It takes some effort to turn the handle. IN in this case There is likely damage to the lock core or handle, as well as various types of debris or wear. The handle does not close completely. A deficiency occurs if the following is noted:
- subsidence of the door leaf makes it difficult for the trunnions to work;
- littering.
- Locking mechanism jammed. The reasons can be different - from the simplest in the form of pollution to more complex ones depending on the design.
Required Tools
To adjust the plastic door yourself, you need to stock up on a set of tools:
- Hex keys of different diameters (from 2.5 to 5 mm).
- Flathead screwdriver.
- Crosshead screwdriver.
- Roulette.
- Pliers.
- Set of plastic covers.
- Lubricant and seal care product (if necessary).
- Instructions.
Instructions for self-configuration
Manufacturers complete plastic entrance doors with various fastening fittings and regulatory elements. However, the principle of setting up the door structure is the same for all models. It should be noted that similar products characterized by the absence of a tilt-and-turn mechanism, as well as the presence of a special type of hinge.
There are three door configuration schemes:
- The height of the structure is adjusted by tightening the loop from below. For this purpose, the decorative plug is removed from its end part to free access to the central adjustment screw. Rotating the hex key clockwise will raise the door, and counterclockwise will lower it.
- The shift of the canvas to the right or left is adjusted using the side and top loops. The door is fully opened to unscrew the trim on the middle and top hinges, which performs a protective and decorative function. Afterwards it can be removed, but initially the canvas is closed. Adjustment is carried out using a long adjusting screw located horizontally. Uniform shift is achieved by equally tightening the horizontal screw in the middle and top hinges. If the canvas sag, then in the upper part - more.
The degree of pressing of the mechanism is changed by twisting the trunnion. This element is also called an eccentric. Usually there is a mark on it - an indicator. If the eccentric is turned towards the room, the pressure decreases; the direction towards the street will increase the sealing.
If you hear a creaking noise when opening, you need to lubricate the hinges. To do this, remove the protective caps and put the product into the opened holes. Lubricants must take into account climatic conditions and tolerate temperature changes well.
Setting up hinges and awnings
Closed overhead hinges are most often installed on plastic and metal-plastic entrance doors. Their number is calculated individually depending on the functional characteristics of each model.
If there is no glass unit in the design, its weight is significantly reduced. This means that it is enough to equip such a door with two canopies. Accordingly, if the base of the sash is glass, as in the case of metal reinforcement, the structure can have three or more curtains.
To adjust them, there are three methods described above. It is important to understand that by tightening only one part, you can cause the entire profile to bend, since the change in position will occur only at one point. Illiterate adjustment leads to squeaks and distortions.
If defects were identified during the warranty period, it is best to contact the seller’s specialists. It will be free and hassle-free.
In order to avoid breakdowns, it is better to promptly identify reasons indicating the need for adjustment. Tight closing of the door, drafts, gaps between the frame and the canvas are the first signs of problems. Prevention of malfunctions in the operation of hinges and awnings of PVC doors significantly increases their service life. It can be done either independently or with the help of specialists.
If a decision is made to self-adjustment door structures, be sure to be patient, carefully read the instructions, and check that you have all the necessary tools. If you have questions, consult with specialists.
In addition, professionals advise not to place great hopes for adjustment door elements, since it can only provide a displacement of a few millimeters. If the door structure was initially installed with technological violations, then the setting will not help.
How to increase the height?
Door designs with a tilt-and-turn mechanism are more complex than entrance ones, but are easily adjusted. If the bottom edge of the door leaf rubs against the threshold, then it’s time to adjust the vertical adjustment screw, that is, you need to lift the door up.
The algorithm for setting up is as follows:
- Inspect the fasteners for damage and to select the necessary tool. You may need an asterisk wrench instead of a hex key. If broken hinges are identified, unfortunately, you will have to call a specialist. If they are intact, you can start setting up.
- Remove the decorative protective covers from the hinges.
- Open the door to allow easier access to the adjustment hole.
- Find the hex screw on the top hinge and turn it clockwise, making sure the sash is vertical. With a small offset this will be enough.
- In case of strong shift, the screw on the lower hinge is tightened. Clockwise adjustment raises the door, counterclockwise lowers it.
Using an angle adjustment screw in the upper end of the frame, you can eliminate the problem of the upper part of the frame catching on the sashes. If after adjustment in the closed state of closing the door still has imperfections, the adjustment must be repeated.
How to level?
In order to align the balcony door in a horizontal plane, you need to use the adjusting screws located under the technological holes of the hinges.
You can make it easier to access the screws by opening the door. The door leaf is shifted to the right by turning the adjusting element counterclockwise. If you turn it clockwise, the shift will be to the left. This method provides a door stroke of 2-3 mm, allowing you to eliminate various types of distortions.
Experts note that sometimes in order to make adjustments, it is necessary to remove the door leaf from the standard clutch. To do this, when the sash is open, press the tab at the end and switch the structure to the “ventilation” mode. This will allow access to the top canopy adjustment screws. After adjustment, the door must be returned to its original state.
What can I do to close it tightly?
If it blows from under the door, it means that the function of pressing it to the frame is broken. To eliminate the defect, perform frontal adjustment of the eccentrics. Changing their position by turning makes it possible to change the degree of pressure of the door to the frame. For the upper part it is possible to adjust by rotating the trunnion, for the lower part - with a screw located on the side edge of the canopy.
Scheme of actions for adjusting the pressure at the bottom of the door:
- Release the hinges from the decorative protection.
- Open the door. Press the blocker against the seal.
- Pull back the top of the door leaf to provide access to the eccentrics.
- Turn the screw to adjust the desired degree of pressure.
- For preventive maintenance, lubricate moving parts.
- Press the lock, set the sash to its original position.
- To increase the pressure, turn the eccentrics to the maximum level, for which lower the locking bolt, move the elements, tighten the fastening.
The position of the eccentrics must be adjusted depending on the time of year. Experts advise reducing the gap between the frame and the door in winter, and loosening the pressure in summer so that the seals do not dry out and to provide additional ventilation.
Difficulty closing
There have been cases where it takes some effort to close the door. Often the reason is that the door is set to “winter mode”. Then just loosen the adjusting screws.
Sometimes the root cause of poor closing is a clogged latch. Elimination consists of either blowing out the lock and lubricating it, or disassembling the door and cleaning all mechanisms.
For preventive purposes, the lock is adjusted every time the door frame clamping mode is changed from summer to winter, and vice versa.
If the sash hangs on one hinge, this indicates that the door was opened in two modes at once. To eliminate this, you need to find a tongue-shaped lock in the middle of the end and move it to a horizontal position. Pressing the door against the frame, set the handle to the “ventilation” mode, and then to the “opening” mode. This way the defect will be eliminated.
To prevent the causes of sagging of the sash, a supporting element is installed - an opening limiter. Sometimes it is also called a door closer. The element is not mandatory equipment, but is popular.
Functionally, the closer is designed not only to support the open door, but also to regulate the closing speed.
Adjusting the hinge
The durability of door structures is ensured through the use of durable materials. For example, loops are made from Teflon.
Due to the fact that plastic door hinges are a hinge mechanism, adjustment work involves understanding the operating principles of such a design.
Ball bearings built into door hinges, provide ease of opening, reduce wear. They need to be lubricated and adjusted to work well.
Depending on the identified deficiency, there is the possibility of horizontal, vertical and frontal adjustment.
The main thing is not to delay, otherwise, if used poorly, the door will become loose and the moment of complete destruction of the mechanism will come. It will no longer be possible to restore it.
Changing the seal
If there are drafts, even after adjusting the pressure of the blade in different directions, we can conclude that there is a poor-quality seal. The service life of the seal is several years, but it can become unusable as a result of external damage or improper use. Door gaskets cannot be restored, they can only be replaced.
Types of seals:
- Rubber and caoutchouc. The most common, with increased wear resistance to climate change.
- Polymer based on PVC. The service life is short, it is afraid of temperature changes.
- Polyethylene.
If you follow certain preventive rules, the seal can be replaced much less frequently:
- When carrying out renovations in an apartment, the windows must be closed to avoid dust settling on the seals.
- Washing windows gives an excellent effect, but only if you use non-caustic household chemicals.
- Processing of gaskets silicone grease or ordinary glycerin will increase the service life several times.
DIY replacement
A competent operation to replace the seal will require scissors and silicone glue.
Repair stages:
- Purchase a seal with the required parameters. This needs to be taken care of in advance. If necessary, visit a hardware store with a sample of the old gasket, where, with the help of a consultant, select an analogue.
- Removing the old seal from the groove using available tools. The operation must be performed carefully so as not to damage the canvas.
- Thorough cleaning of the grooves. Dirt will not allow the new insulation layer to be laid properly.
- Applying silicone glue to the corners. This will prevent the elastic from moving.
- Laying the insulation into the groove, starting from the attachment point of the old gasket. An even distribution is required, without sagging, folding or tension.
- Fastening the joint tightly. Sometimes the seal is cut at a 45 degree angle to ensure a tight fit at the end.
- Quality checking. Cold air should not penetrate into the room.
When carrying out this procedure, it is important to ensure that the rubber does not break, otherwise you will have to change the seal again.
Setting up the handle
Balcony handles are classified into movable and stationary. The stationary function is the point of application of force to open the door. Movable models are necessary not only for operating the blade itself, but also for adjusting the lock. They, in turn, are rotary and push-type. Based on the installation method, door handles are divided into mortise and overhead.
For balcony doors, double-sided models are most often used, since they open on both sides. Among the advantages are a durable mechanism, a variety of options, and among the disadvantages is low security for doors that are in general access.
The simplest way to adjust a door is to repair a loose handle mechanism. To do this, set the door to the “open” position, remove the protective cover at the base of the handle, opening access to the screws. Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the fastening, thereby eliminating the defect.
If the handle turns tightly, as a rule, the reason is the incorrect position of the door leaf. When this factor is eliminated, the opening function should return to normal. Otherwise, the handle along with the lock will have to be completely replaced.
You can replace a broken handle yourself. First you should set it to the “open” mode, then unscrew the screws from the fastening, remove the entire mechanism along with the core. Insert the pre-selected new handle in place of the old one and secure it with screws.
How to adjust for winter?
Pressure adjustment is associated with the expansion and contraction of the seal material during temperature fluctuations. Depending on the season, it is possible to adjust the modes using eccentrics. When they are shifted towards the street, the winter position will be ensured, since the door leaf is pressed tighter. Summer mode implies a shift in reverse side, providing sufficient clearance between the door and frame elements. As a result of such prevention, the doors will last much longer.
It is worth noting that eccentrics are advised to move in one direction, in the same way. Rotation can be done either manually or using special tools, for example, pliers.
In addition to the above steps for insulating a balcony structure, you can also check the quality characteristics of the insulation and, if necessary, change it or lubricate it with silicone grease.
How to properly repair a metal-plastic balcony door?
During long-term use metal-plastic doors require repairs, and this does not depend on their price. Major troubles, of course, will require the involvement of a specialist, but prevention and adjustment of the mechanisms can be done independently.
You should remember how to adjust the door leaf:
- Vertical elements move the door up and down.
- Horizontal mechanisms make it possible to move the upper and lower corners, and move the canvas left and right.
You can troubleshoot other minor problems yourself.
Depressurization
There are two ways to eliminate the deficiency:
- Replacing the seal. With prolonged use or extreme climatic conditions, rubber gaskets lose their elasticity. Today the construction market offers a huge selection of sealants from various materials. Before replacing, you must carefully remove the remnants of the old gasket; if it is difficult, use a screwdriver or other available tool. The main thing is not to damage the grooves. Degreasing the surface is also an important step, after which it is necessary to apply glue and, without stretching, lay the seal.
- Trunnion adjustment. The eccentrics that ensure the sash is pressed against the frame relax over time, which requires their regular adjustment. Since the elements are located around the entire perimeter, each one should be configured individually. Standard trunnion positions:
- Summer mode is characterized by loose pressure, the eccentrics are directed towards the street.
- The winter mode causes tight compression and the trunnions are adjusted towards the room.
- The demi-season position of the eccentrics in the center provides an average degree of compression.
Problems with fittings
All running elements of the door structure must be lubricated from time to time with machine oil or by special means to improve their functionality. If the handle becomes loose during operation, it can be easily tightened with a screwdriver. However, the main thing here is not to overdo it. If the hinges are loose, just tighten them with a hex wrench.
If the lower fastening is torn out, you will have to change the hinge. There can be two reasons for this defect:
- Irresponsible manufacturers install regular doors instead of reinforced ones when installing them. window options fastenings, and therefore the hinge cannot withstand the load of a heavy door leaf.
- The presence of short reinforcement inside the door. In this case, the fixing screws only cling to the plastic part of the frame, so the door cannot withstand the weight.
A previous failure may result in deformation of the upper hinge. Due to the fact that the lower fasteners no longer support the sash, it hangs on the upper one, which is not designed for vertical load. In this case, the hinge also needs to be replaced.
When doors are frequently opened and closed in public places, the handle mechanism produces extraneous noise. Since it consists of moving parts, frequent movement wears them out. If after lubricating the parts the problem does not go away, then it is time to replace the locking system.
In addition, the breakdown of the lock may be due to a violation of the connection between the handle and the core or damage to other internal elements. To troubleshoot problems, you need to remove the protective caps and unscrew the mounting screws.
To learn how to properly adjust the door, see the following video.
If you find a cut pin connecting the handle to the core, you should knock out its remains and insert a new one. If the handle itself is faulty, it will have to be replaced. If the lock is broken, you need to pull out the core. By unscrewing the lock at the end of the door, the mechanism is removed. Install a new one, repeating the steps in reverse order. If there is a need to purchase a new lock, it is recommended to choose an analogue from the same company as before.
Other defects
Scratches and other deep defects are inherent door structures in families with small children. Dents are typical for doors common use. Experts advise purchasing the substance Cosmofen at a hardware store. It is a liquid plastic that is used to treat the scratched surface.
Algorithm for eliminating defects:
- Clean the surface of the canvas using any household means.
- After complete drying, it is necessary to degrease the parts to be treated.
- Apply with a spatula thin layer putties.
- After drying, the surface is sanded with fine sandpaper.
- Depending on the door material, the door leaf is coated with matte or glossy varnish.
Why does it blow from plastic balcony doors? What to do? Possible reasons, and ways to eliminate them will be discussed here. If anything is unclear or additional questions arise about why it is blowing from the plastic balcony door - Call! 904-30-42 -Let's discuss! Let's help today!
Why is there blowing from the balcony door? What to do?
By replacing old, dry wooden doors with plastic ones, we expect warmth and comfort in our home. We hope that drafts will disappear forever, and we will enjoy the flawless operation of plastic doors for many, many years. But, as practice shows, in reality everything happens a little differently. Over time, cold air begins to blow from the plastic doors. Why? Because of which? What to do? How to eliminate the blowing of balcony doors? Some people try to solve the problem of blowing through plastic balcony doors using tape, foam rubber, rags, blankets and other improvised means, not knowing that the cold from plastic balcony doors can and should be dealt with in other ways.
Possible causes of balcony doors blowing, and ways to eliminate them
So why do balcony doors begin to let the cold in? Let's figure it out. There are four main reasons for blowing plastic doors:
1. - Sagging of the plastic balcony door (blowing from the balcony door)
During operation, the fittings of the plastic door “loose” (the balcony door sagged: it doesn’t fit tightly to the frame, it doesn’t open well, it doesn’t close well - as if it’s catching on something, it’s stuck) because of this, cracks have appeared through which it blows. In this case, the plastic balcony door must be adjusted - i.e. set the correct horizontal and vertical position of the balcony door. To adjust the plastic balcony door you will need a special hex key. By tightening the adjusting screws with a hexagon, the plastic balcony door takes the desired position. However, we draw your attention to the fact that when adjusting a plastic balcony door with your own hands, you need to be doubly careful and careful! There are often cases of customers who wanted to adjust the plastic balcony door themselves and accidentally! the hinges were torn off!!! They had to be replaced, which is an additional expense.
Also, in the cold season, you should pay attention to what mode of operation the fittings are in. If the balcony door hardware is installed on summer mode, it should be switched to winter. “Winter mode” ensures a greater fit of the balcony door to the frame.
2.- The seal on the plastic balcony door is worn out
The plastic door seal has become unusable and needs to be replaced. You can check the condition and determine whether the seal needs replacing on your own. First you need to clean it from dirt and visually inspect it. The seal of the plastic balcony door must be intact without visible damage and uniform in color. For next stage verification will require a regular sheet of paper. We open the door slightly, push a sheet of paper into the street and close the balcony door. We are trying to pull out a sheet of paper inside. If the sheet is “dead”, then everything is in order - replacement of the seal is not required. If the sheet can be pulled out, the seal must be replaced, otherwise it will blow cold.
Different types of seals for plastic balcony doors have different period services. The more plastic components there are in the seal, the shorter its service life. Rehau and KBE rubber-epdm seals have proven themselves best. Recently, the market has appeared the new kind seal Shlegel Q-Lon (Schlegel pendant) and some “repairers” install ONLY this.
Our craftsmen have a very wary attitude towards Schlegel, because... More than once it was necessary to replace a “just” installed Schlegel, which had failed, with a “classic” one rubber compressor. When choosing a seal for plastic balcony doors, you should NOT proceed from the logic: “the thicker the better.” Installing a thicker seal can lead to other problems, for example, the balcony door does not fit tightly - and no adjustment will help, the rubber simply will not allow the door to close tightly, or the load on the fittings of the plastic balcony door will increase, which will lead to its rapid failure.
Be careful when choosing a seal for your doors, since in this market, as elsewhere, there are original sealing gum from well-known European manufacturers and analogues (Russian, Turkish, Chinese). Analogs are made similar in shape, but the dimensions do not always match. The composition and quality of such seals leave much to be desired. The seal for plastic balcony doors must comply with GOST 30778-2001.
If, after adjusting and replacing the seal, the balcony door continues to blow, you should call a specialist who repairs plastic balcony doors so that he can diagnose, identify and eliminate the blowing. Again: master is different from master. There are very few good craftsmen and their work is scheduled several days in advance. As such, universal masters for repairing plastic windows and doors are VERY rare. As a rule, craftsmen specialize in repairing and replacing plastic window fittings or finishing.
An example of an incorrectly selected seal
balcony doors
The plastic window whistles. What to do?
Let's give specific example how the seal for windows and balcony doors was chosen incorrectly. The owner of an apartment located on Vasilyevsky Island contacted us ( new house, frequent strong winds due to the proximity of the Gulf of Finland). The main complaint was that in strong winds the windows and doors whistle. Typically, windows whistle when the seal is poorly worn and due to broken internal joint sealing seams. The owner of the apartment said that some “master” replaced the seal a little over a year ago. Our technician arrived and saw the new seal that was installed there. 
A little research, and now we see the label from the box of this seal. Please note, this is a groove seal for wooden windows!!! However, the “master” installed it in a plastic window!!! After standing for some time (about a year), this seal became unusable and the windows whistled. Of course, this seal was replaced with the classic rubber-rubber KBE 228, which will last for more than 15 years. Also, our master restored the internal joining seam. The windows stopped whistling, the apartment became warm and quiet.
We repeat once again: Be careful when choosing a seal for your windows! Don't believe the stories about "miracle seals"! There is nothing better than the time-tested rubber seals rehau (rehau), kbe (kbe) and veka (century).
An example of “insulating” a balcony door with a self-adhesive seal
What happens if you insulate a balcony door with a self-adhesive seal? Let's give an example of how NOT need to do!!!
It may seem that solving the problem of “window insulation” is easy and simple on your own by purchasing self-adhesive insulation from the nearest store. Attach it all over the window, and think that the drafts have won!!! However, we draw your attention to the fact that this increases the load on the hinges and all fittings, which can lead to serious damage. You absolutely cannot do this!!! In this case, the presence of a self-adhesive seal not provided for by the design led to the fact that the main lock (drive, gearbox) broke and the balcony door stopped closing altogether.
3.- Poor quality installation (installation and finishing) of a plastic balcony door
Installation (installation) of a plastic balcony door must be carried out strictly in compliance with all instructions of GOST 30971-2012. There is only one sad consequence of poor-quality installation of plastic balcony doors – it’s cold!!! Why this happens:
The waterproofing of the external seam of plastic balcony doors is broken (missing)
No insulating foam under the tide
The voids under the frame (box) are not filled
There are gaps under the window sill or threshold, voids (the installers saved money again)
There is little insulating foam under the slopes
There is no sealing of the joints between the slopes and the frame
After eliminating the deficiencies made by careless installers, the room will immediately become warmer.
4.- Plastic balcony doors “at an affordable price” - What are the consequences of saving?
Temperature changes lead to deformation of cheap plastic and cracks appear through which it blows. And here no repair work will help - the door needs to be replaced. Do not buy cheap and very cheap windows and balcony doors!!! Then you will regret it bitterly.How to determine where the air is blowing from a plastic balcony door?
We determine it in the old proven way - with a candle flame. We outline the height and width of the plastic balcony door with a lit candle - where the flame flutters, it blows. Or look carefully at the slopes: where they are dirtiest, that’s where the wind blows.
What to do if it blows from the fastening hinges of a plastic balcony door:
It is necessary to adjust the hinges and check the condition of the rubber seal, especially in the hinge area. Sometimes, the problem of blowing through hinges can only be solved by replacing them. At the same time, new hinges must be of higher quality and from a different manufacturer.
What should I do if it blows from the mounting hinges of a plastic balcony door in the middle? What is re-sealing a balcony door?:
If the fittings have been adjusted, but still continue to blow, then it is necessary to do a “repacking”. What is “repacking” a plastic balcony door? The term “repacking” a balcony door means: correcting the geometric shape of a plastic door. For example, a balcony door has bent inward towards the glass unit and therefore the clamping pin does not reach the striker on the frame of the plastic balcony door. Usually, such curvatures are not visible to the eye of an inexperienced person. The plastic balcony door is unglazed and, using straightening plates, the profile is bent in the other direction. Put the glass unit in place. In this way, a tight press of the plastic balcony door leaf to the frame is achieved (the pin reaches the lock strike plate).
What to do if you are blowing from the handle of a plastic balcony door:
most likely the handle is simply loose - you need to try to fix it: to do this you need to lift it and turn it 90 degrees decorative strip. There are places for a bolt under the bar, so they need to be tightened. Did not help? I'll have to try replacing the handle. We move the bar, unscrew the bolts, and take out the handle. We install another handle, tighten the bolts, and close the bar.
What to do if there is blowing from under the glass bead of a plastic balcony door:
Such cases are rare, but they do occur. So, in such cases, you can replace the sealing rubber of the glass unit!!! (it differs in design from the seal for sashes and frames). You can replace the glazing beads if for some reason they become deformed and no longer fit tightly to the glass unit. And, the last, easiest way is to seal the cracks with sealant.
What to do if it blows from under the window sill (threshold) of a plastic balcony door:
Inspect installation seam under the window sill (threshold), it must be without gaps, cracks and holes. If there are any holes, they must be sealed. How? It all depends on their size. If the gap or hole is small, then you can get by with sealant. If their size causes concern, then they must first be foamed, wait until the foam dries, cut off the excess, and then the foam must be thoroughly plastered. Sometimes, in special cases, this is not enough. You have to carefully dismantle the plastic window sill, fill up all the voids (remaining after poor-quality installation) and reinstall the window sill correctly.
What to do if it blows from the slopes of a plastic balcony door:
This can happen when installers and finishers have saved on polyurethane foam, and it simply isn’t available under the slopes. In such cases, the slopes are carefully removed and put back in place “correctly” in compliance with all technologies.
How to insulate plastic balcony doors yourself?
Who is guilty? What to do to make it warmer?
If you have recently installed plastic doors, then the warranty period is valid and you can safely go to the company that supplied your windows and write a quality complaint. In most cases, the company will not want any noise and will satisfy all your requirements.
Carry out maintenance of plastic balcony doors twice a year. Clean off dirt and lubricate all components of the balcony door. To lubricate the fittings of a plastic balcony door, machine oil is used to sealing gum use silicone grease.
At the end of the cold weather, switch the fittings to the “summer” mode. Constant tight pressure can lead to faster wear of the plastic balcony door seal.
If the slightest malfunction occurs in the operation of the fittings, call a specialist. Applying excessive physical force when opening and closing a window can lead to damage to the hardware.
Have you tried all the above methods and it doesn't get better? Then, most likely, the problem is in the cheap profile from which your windows are made. To insulate plastic balcony doors yourself, you need to:
Wash plastic balcony doors. Dust and dirt interfere with the operation of the fittings and worsen the veil (loss of tightness).
Seal all cracks with sealant.
Place a special heat-retaining film on the glass. It is easy to install and completely invisible on the window.
How to care for plastic balcony doors yourself
Even a simple ordinary soap solution will easily wash the plastic profile of your entire door, or you can use degreasing detergents. But only wash the plastic profile with a soft sponge, do not rub it with a hard surface. It is strictly forbidden to use abrasive and aggressive chemical compositions(which contains chlorine, acids, alcohol and other additives that actively destroy dirt). Even if at first glance nothing happened, after some time the color of the plastic may turn from white to grayish-yellow.
Double glazing in pvc doors- This ordinary glass and you need to wash it like regular glass. Carefully, trying not to get detergents on the profile. It is important not to overdo it - so that the cleaning alcohol solution does not get on the rubber seal.
Caring for the metal fittings of a plastic balcony door consists of lubricating it with at least annual oil. sewing machines or simple machine oil or any other oil that does not contain additives.
It is recommended to clean the rubber seal of plastic balcony doors once every six months from dirt, wash them with soapy water and lubricate them with silicone grease. This element of a plastic balcony door plays the most important role in protecting against drafts, noise and street dust.
It is also important to clean regularly drainage holes at the bottom of the door frame. If you regularly give plastic doors a little attention, they will last a long time and reliably!
If the slightest malfunction occurs in the operation of a plastic balcony door, it is recommended to call a specialist in repairing plastic balcony doors. Strictly prohibited color="red"> use excessive physical force to open (close) the door!
After carrying out repair and restoration work, it is recommended to carry out servicing of plastic balcony doors twice a year (cleaning off dirt and lubricating fittings and seals).
Based on our many years of experience, we recommend to our clients: Roto fittings. Due to its quality, Roto fittings have long been well established in the market of metal-plastic structures. Fine-tuning the pressure on the balcony door ensures there is no backlash and increases the service life of all mechanisms.

Calling a specialist is usually expensive, so you should only invite him in emergency situations. If we are talking about how to adjust a plastic balcony door, then you can try to carry out the work yourself, having first familiarized yourself with the basic principles.
The door to the balcony may need adjustment
Every door block has basic and additional details. Before starting adjustment work, a novice master should become familiar with the structure of such structures. He must clearly understand the operating principle of the fittings used.
IN standard set usually include:
- frame from PVC profiles, connected using special fasteners;
- a sash assembled according to the same principle as the box itself;
- hinges that allow the door to open and close;
- a handle with a lock, necessary to lock the sash in the pressed position;
- seals for tightness;
- glass unit
Helpful information! The set of accessories may vary slightly depending on functionality. Standard equipment usually supplemented with mechanical or hydraulic closers, stoppers and other parts.
Preventive measures
Before you begin to consider information on how to set up a plastic balcony door, you need to familiarize yourself with preventive measures that will help reduce the number of adjustments and other problems. They consist of careful operation and correct selection of fittings.
