very useful video i live in rented property and the windows were fitted very badly huge voids around the actual frames which made a kazoo sound when windy which would keep me awake so i tookmof the internal strip and filled with expanding which stopped most ofbtge noise but then the windiws had draughts and is not a great seal when closed i could put a credit card between the gap and it would slide about so this may just be the answer to a warmer draught free winter ..... so thankyou for video post 🙏

Some of you are adjusting doors but only on lock-in side on the hinge side there are ways of adjusting pressure on the seal .without seeing the hinge there are various ways to adjust the gasket pressure .nomally the hinges have the ability to rotate hinge pin to at least four positions.points of compass n s e west ie pressure on north pressure or south east or west puts pin to left or right .up and down with adjustment with Allen key but may vary. If your.door has dropped it has been incorrectly glazed another subject .

What can we do when it doesn't seal properly even in the tightest setting? On windy days I can hear the wind whistling through the balcony door. The rubber sealings look good but I can see some dust where the wind can blow through because there is about a half millimeter space left between the rubber and the door frame.

Oooh … not that I want to disagree but … my daughter’s bedroom windows suffer from bad condensation (in winter) due to not enough air-flow (the vent is rubbish) … so I might investigate this trick but in reverse 🔄 loosening the windows a tad so they become slightly MORE drafty. Not sure if it’s a good or bad idea 🤷 but desperate to stop more black mould creeping up the damp walls around the window.
