Basic information on the adjustment of plastic doors

So:

For adjusting, use a 4 mm hex key (number 40).

Horizontal adjustment of the metal-plastic door is performed using the upper and lower hinges. For the implementation of these works in the hinges there are special holes for the hexagon. To adjust the top loop, you first need to open the door.

When the hexagon rotates in a clockwise direction, its flap is attracted to the loop. At the same time, the bottom of the metal-plastic door opposite the hinge rises. Accordingly, if the hexagon is turned counterclockwise, there will be a gradual removal of the sash from the hinge, and the bottom of the door, located on the side of the opposite hinge, will be lowered.

Adjustment с помощью нижней петли может выполняться с внутренней стороны при открытой двери, либо с внешней стороны, когда дверь находится положении «закрыто».

The methods of adjusting metal-plastic doors listed above make it possible to eliminate the bevel or to move the frame (an adjustment stroke of ± 2 millimeters).

The clamping mechanism is on the doors and from the hinge side. It is regulated by means of a hexagon. The more the tongue extends, the greater the pressure. For doors with left hinges, the hexagon should be rotated counterclockwise to extend the tongue.

The clamp can be adjusted depending on the season. In winter it can be strengthened, in the warm season it can be weakened.
