Funnily enough figured this out the other day looking at the door and wondering if it was adjustable I saw some little cams and hex nuts. Different to yours but similar idea. Turned them and lo and behold, tight seal. Despite being quite handy I'd not known this. As regards the post below, school taught us to be inquistive and methodical so I guess that helped me figure it out, but then I did become an engineer.

I had a similar scenario with my back door, where you could feel the cold around the whole door.. I looked at the rubber seal & in places it had disintegrated, so I completely resealed both the door & the frame, but even after I did that it was better but not perfect.. Checked my door after seeing your video all four adjusters are set to summer & have been for the last 27 years .. Hopefully that’ll change tomorrow.. would be nice to have a warmer utility room lol 👍

@charliegeorge.
@charliegeorge. 4 ай бұрын
If the door or window has dropped then you must reglaze it properly using toe and heel method before attempting this. When adjusting them try one cam at a time because you'll find the handle will be tougher to throw up (don't pull up the handle from above, always use the ball of your hand to push up from below, much easier, especially with arthritis) and if the handle doesn't travel all the way you'll struggle to turn the key in the barrel, so go gently and imagine the cams as a clock, 12. 3. 6. 9. Hr setting and going in-between these hours is absolutely fine. Also spray the lock barrel and moving parts on the door lock and window hinges with WD-40, using the supplied straw is best, couple times a year as they can go dry and seize up. JUST REMEMBER WHEN ADJUSTING DOORS AND IT SEALS BETTER, YOU MUST TRY LOCKING WITH THE KEY! IF KEY NOT TURNING AND THE LOCK BARREL IS DEFINITELY CENTRAL AND RETAINING SCREW TIGHTENED THEN REVERSE SLOWLY YOUR ACTIONS ON ONE CAM AT A TIME UNTIL YOU HIT THE SWEETSPOT OF THAT KEY TURNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN TO LOCK.

It's more a way of adjusting the pressure on the seals really but it definitely makes a difference!

@FixitwithFowler I used to live in a flat many years ago, often wondered how I could clean my windows on outside. One day I was cleaning them I looked at the hinges and realised I could slide the fram. I was like, why has no one told me this. 🤯😬😤. Lol

Stumbled across your video from the homepage of KZfaq. Thank you for sharing this tip, most of my windows were set to summer setting and I'm hoping it stops my neighbour's secondhand smoke coming in! Don't happen to have any tips on preventing secondhand smoke coming through floorboards?

Unfortunately, not with the floorboards, but you shouldn't get anything through the floor as it should be a fire barrier!

Thanks for your comment. It's a shame the soor is too bowed to fix it. You could try using foam draught excluder tape to see if that helps? amzn.to/3OsCBXh
