Note to home craftsmen. What is better to adjust or replace hinges for plastic doors?

PVC window and entrance structures are used everywhere; most apartments have plastic balcony doors. The mechanism of operation of such products differs from wooden or metal counterparts, therefore, issues related to the repair or replacement of accessories for PVC products become relevant. The most important element in PVC canvases is hinges. They support the significant weight of the sash (especially the lower one) and are subjected to daily stress when opening and closing the entrance group. Therefore, this element of the door structure wears out most often and may require replacement during intensive use.

Hinges for metal-plastic doors

In the main, they are made of iron alloys, and parts subject to heavy loads are made of stainless steel and a particularly strong special Teflon material. The main purpose of the hinge for metal-plastic doors is to connect the door leaf with the door frame, so that the door simply and freely opens and locks, with all this, when closed, it fits snugly against the door frame.

To understand the structure of plastic door hinges, you need to know what parts they consist of. The main ones include:

• Door part and iron insert (hinge template);

• Frame part - has integrated pins for fasteners;

• Spacer sleeve - placed between the frame and the door part, made of extra strong Teflon.

Usually, hinges are installed on plastic doors through an iron insert (hinge template), which is attached to the door leaf in the place where the hinge will be installed. The template just exists for the ability to adjust the position of the door in all directions of the horizontal plane. In the vertical plane, the position of the sash is adjusted due to the fact that the design of the hinges of metal-plastic doors has at the end of the hinges, hidden under the decorative caps, special adjusting screws.

Despite the fact that structurally the hinges for metal-plastic doors are made, so that they have great strength and reliability, there are situations when they need to be replaced with new ones. This can happen due to defects in the casting of extruded aluminum, from which, in the main, hinge bodies are made, or destruction of the axial cylinder, also due to defects.

We can say that these are quite rare occurrences if high-quality branded fittings are used. But all the same, if the question arose of where to buy hinges for plastic doors, then thanks to the existence of the web, a huge number of web stores have appeared, in which you can easily find the latest hinge of the same manufacturer and standard size. If you don't find exactly the same one, then you can always find suitable analogs. To do this, rather closely study the catalog of hinges for plastic doors, which is available in every store.

and you will be ready to swap out without delay.

• Remove the caps covering the hinge mechanism;

• Keep the door CLOSED;

• the upper hinge of the plastic door - from above with the help of a doboiner and a hammer, slightly sink the protruding part of the axial cylinder, then, from the bottom of the hinge, with a narrow part of the pliers we grab the protruding part of the axial cylinder and drag it down until it comes out of the hinge groove;

• Having slightly tilted the door towards ourselves, firmly holding it, because the door is rather languid, we begin to raise it up. It is enough to raise it by 5-6 cm so that the pin of the lower support is free, the lower hinges for plastic doors are not fixed, therefore, in order to remove the door from the hinge, it is enough to lift it and move it to the side.

Now that the door has been removed, it is possible, according to the annotation, to remove the old ones and put new hinges.

Correct marking

Installation of door hinges by eye is unacceptable - even a small error can lead to distortion and deformation of the door leaf and structure. The markup is done with a pencil as follows:

1. Attach the hinges to the places of the intended installation. The hinges should be placed with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters from the edges of the door (top and bottom).
2. Circle the hinges attached to the door end with a pencil, then set them aside.
3. Use a chisel and hammer to make indentations in the marked areas as needed to install the mortise hinges.

General view of the cutout for the door hinge

Pay close attention to the thickness of the groove. If it exceeds the thickness of the hinge, when closing the door will rest against the box. Ultimately, this will lead to deformation of the door leaf and the appearance of problems with opening and closing the door.

Before you install the hinges on the door, you need to mark the door frame. This operation will require skill and patience in order to correctly determine the location of the hinge:

1. Place the canvas in the box and fix it with wooden wedges as it should be in the installed state. To level the door leaf, use the building level.
2. After aligning the curtain, mark on the box where the door hinges touch the door.
3. As in the case of the door leaf, use a hammer and chisel to make the required number of indentations for installing the door hinges.

The alignment of the door leaf in the frame should be carried out not only vertically, but also horizontally. An incorrect vertical setting will cause the door to open spontaneously, while a horizontal setting will make it difficult to close.

Hinges for plastic doors: device and selection criteria

Plastic doors are mounted on two door hinges located on one side of the door frame post. Door hinges for PVC structures differ in the method of attachment to overhead and applied. For balcony doors, overhead hinges are used, which allow the door to be adjusted. For pendulum entrance and interior plastic doors, applied hinges are used, which look like a door closer.

To easily and quickly remove the PVC door, you need to know the structure of the door hinges.

A set of hinges for plastic doors consists of a leaf part with a metal insert, an aluminum frame part with pins for fastening, a spacer made of metal alloy for connecting the frame and a leaf, and fasteners.

The components of the hinge allow the door to be adjusted without removing it.

So, in order to adjust the door horizontally, you need to use the hinge template (metal tab), vertically - the adjusting screws that are located under the decorative caps.

In order to choose a new hinge to replace the old one, you must take into account:

• Door size and weight;
• Door frame and sash construction;
• The thickness of the profile walls;
• Door opening method.

The hinge can only be replaced after removing the plastic sheet. To replace the door hinge, you will need pliers or a side cutter, a doboiner and a hammer.

Replacing the hinges

Reinstalling fittings is quite simple. First you need to dismantle faulty products. To do this, it is necessary to unscrew all the fastening screws that hold the door and frame parts to the profile. After all the elements have been removed, you will need to study the installation instructions that are included with the new fittings. In order to qualitatively change the product, all actions should be performed strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The swivel mechanisms are fixed in the mounting holes with fasteners, however, different models may have their own nuances. When the hardware is installed, it is necessary to replace the sash.

Dismantling a plastic entrance door: how to remove it from the hinges

Removing the plastic entrance door from the hinges may be necessary if one of the hinges has been damaged or the door is out of order and needs to be repaired. In addition, the door will have to be removed in order to lubricate the hinges with oil.

Specialists in metal-plastic structures advise to lubricate the door hinges at least once a year: this allows you to extend the life of the structure.

The procedure for removing the entrance PVC door from the hinges has certain nuances, because the entrance door, unlike interior and balcony doors, is equipped with reinforced hinges and anti-burglary mechanisms. Due to the heavy weight of the structure, it can be quite difficult to work alone. In addition, a metal-plastic entrance door is usually hung on three hinges.

In order to dismantle the entrance metal-plastic door, you must:

1. Disassemble all three boxes: remove the protective decorative strips by prying them off with a screwdriver.
2. Press down on the pin of the upper hinge with a pliers and pull it out of the groove at the lower end using pliers.
3. Do the same with the middle loop.
4. Lift the doors up 50 mm, and tilt the door leaf towards you. If the canvas is heavy, then this can be done by placing a lever under the door.
5. Turn the doors in order to activate the pivoting arm of the lower sash and remove the door from the lower hinge.

After dismantling, you can lubricate or change the hinges, carry out work on the repair of the blade. After the completion of the repair work, the main thing is to set the door evenly so that the canvas opens and closes freely. You can adjust the position of the door after installing it.

Instructions: how to remove a plastic balcony door from the hinges

The design of balcony doors does not differ much from the structure of ordinary interior doors: a balcony door also consists of a door frame and a leaf on hinges. You can dismantle the balcony door from the hinges on your own: due to the small size and weight of the door, work can be done without assistance. In addition, the balcony door is often installed on only two hinges, which allows work to be done quickly.

In order to remove the PVC balcony door from the hinges, you must:

• Remove the protective caps from the hinges.
• Cover the door, but do not block it.
• Press down on the top hinge pin so that the end is pressed out of the groove.
• Pick up the pin from the bottom of the hinge and use the pliers to pull it out of the groove.
• Tilt the door towards you and gently pull the handle toward the ceiling so that the lower one releases the lower pin.
• Remove the door from its hinges.

After this, further repair work can be carried out. The balcony door is installed in the reverse order: first, the canvas is put on the lower hinge, after which it leans against the plane of the door frame. Next, the upper hinge is assembled: an axial cylinder is inserted into the hinge mechanism from below. At the final stage, protective caps are put on the hinges.

How to install a lock?

First you need to choose a lock for a plastic balcony door, which can be:

• suval;
• mortise;
• cylindrical;
• electric, etc.

The installation technology is not complicated, the work is the same as when installing a lock into a wooden door. The work is carried out as follows - unscrew all the bolts that hold the mechanism, pull out the old lock, put a new product in this place and fix it with bolts.

Important! If the door is not equipped with a lock, a master must install the device. Especially when it comes to the mortise system - in this case, you will have to violate the integrity of the door, which can threaten damage to the structure.

How to disassemble a plastic door

Repair of a plastic door, in some cases, can be carried out without removing the door leaf from the hinges. So, for example, without removing the door, you can replace the glass in the frame, the plastic sash in the door leaf. The door consists of a frame, double-glazed windows and PVC panels. The elements are held in the frame by glazing beads.

In order to disassemble a plastic door you need:

1. Prepare the tool. For work, a flat-head screwdriver, a sharp knife for a planer is suitable.
2. Insert a screwdriver into the groove between the glazing bead and the door frame and detach the glazing bead.
3. Dismantle the upper and lower glazing beads, then the side ones.

The glass or plastic panel can then be easily removed and replaced with a new element. The glazing beads are inserted backwards without additional fasteners.

Types and installation of balcony latches

In order not to face the fact that the balcony door has slammed, and the person is inside the balcony, and now has no opportunity to open the canvas, a latch is needed. The hardware auxiliary element is installed in the leaf of the sash and fixes the doors in the closed position when leaving the balcony.

There are several types of latches:

1. Mechanical. Supplied complete with a door, it is a mechanical door shutter, simple and effective. It works by turning the false knob. The latch wears out quickly, and if the handle-petal is lost, the device is inconvenient to use.
2. Magnetic. A modern locking piece that can be roller, lug or magnetic. It is worth considering this device in more detail.

Magnetic latches are mounted on the end of the PVC sheet instead of the usual pin, and a case with a magnetic tongue is inserted into the frame. Thus, when closing, the sash is attracted, reliably held in the closed position.

Roller products are installed inside the case, supported by a spring mechanism, as a rule, they come immediately in the kit. When the sash is closed, the roller is pressed and hidden in the hole in the door frame, reliably holding the leaf in the closed position.For installation, a screwdriver, self-tapping screws and a plate with a roller are enough (everything is supplied in the kit).

How to make a balcony on the first floor with your own hands and installing an extension

Fale latches are a type of roller systems - a metal triangular spring enters the groove and holds the sash in the closed position. But to open you need a handle with a twist mechanism, so latch latches are rarely used. If such a design is not provided for by the door leaf, it is better to do with the magnetic option.

Possible installation problems:

• skew or subsidence of the structure - you will have to remove and redo the latch;
• incorrect installation calculation - the elements inserted into each other simply will not be combined, you will have to redo;
• the wrong choice of products, the design does not fit the profile.

To avoid trouble, it is best to buy the latch from the company that installed or implemented the balcony door.
