Using a fixing jig will help make the process of installing new friction hinges simple and precise. The jig will pre-drill the holes for the pin-locating holes as well as screw holes in the hinge body and door sash. After drilling the pin-locating holes and screw holes, position the hinges, adding packers if necessary to ensure that they are properly positioned on the uPVC door profile. After the hinges have been positioned and packed, drill the screws into the desired position and then screw them securely to the door sash as well as the hinge body.

A uPVC flag hinge is a kind of hinge that is fitted to the outside of the door. It has a fixed slot on one side and a pin that is fixed on the other. This allows the hinges to move horizontally. This type hinge is suitable for sliding doors. It is available in both left-hand and right-hand styles.

A flag hinge allows you to alter the height as well as the horizontal and the depth of the uPVC door that is more than you can do with a Butt or T hinge. The adjustment screws on a flag hinge might be covered by caps, and you will need to loosen them with a Philips screwdriver, or break off using a flat-headed screwdriver prior to trying to adjust the door. The screws that adjust may be different ordered by different manufacturers, so it is important to always look at the screws you are adjusting to see which screws do what.

A uPVC rebate hinge is similar to a flag hinge but it is designed for doors that have an incline, or step, on the uPVC profile. This kind of hinge might be difficult to find on the market since it is no longer manufactured. It is a good choice for replacing damaged or old double glazing hinges. The main benefit of a rebated door hinge is that when the door is shut, it is hidden from view. This helps maintain a a clean aesthetic for the door frame and the door.

T Hinges

T hinges are available in a variety of finishes and styles. They can be used to enhance the aesthetics of uPVC door. You can find T hinges in various materials, like stainless steel hinges, or more durable aluminum designs.

Originally designed in the 19th century, this versatile design has seen many variations over the years. Today you can find T hinges in a range of styles and sizes that range from traditional Penny End designs to sharp Arrow End finishes that provide a nod to the traditional blacksmithing techniques.

Flag hinges are likely to be found on uPVC doors that are more recent. They're the most common kind of hinge for this door type. This type of hinge gives you the most control when adjusting the door's position, because it can be adjusted both lateraly and vertically.

Once the old hinges are removed, install the uPVC door on top of the rebated hinges and fasten it in place with the appropriate screws.

Like all uPVC components, it's important to select a hinge that is built to last as long as is possible and requires minimal maintenance or repair. Find a hinge that is covered by an assurance that covers any defects from the manufacturer or damage to the hinge mechanism. Look for products with easy-to-follow instructions, like online videos or printable documents with step-by-step guidance.

It is essential to check the hinges' compression, in addition to making sure that your uPVC door shuts and opens effortlessly. The sash may separate from the frame which can lead to poor weatherproofing or air leaks.

You can then add or remove shims to alter the compression, which will ensure that your uPVC door stays in place.
