How to adjust uPVC doors to stop draughts It’s common for uPVC doors to become misaligned as screws, latches and hinges loosen through constant or excessive use. To fix the problem, you need to adjust the door latch so that the lock sits tightly in the latch and pulls the door snugly into the frame. To draught-proof a uPVC door, you can adjust the latch or the hinges to get a better fit of the door in the frame. If your uPVC door is loose in the frame, it will rattle when you pull the handle. You can also feel draughts by running your hand around the edge of the door frame. Alternatively, if your door shuts in the frame but won't catch in the latch, you might need to reduce the compression of the door by increasing the gap between the door and the frame. There are two ways to do this. You can adjust the strike plate by loosening the screws in the plate, in the door frame, and sliding towards the entrance of the door to tighten the fit. Or, sliding towards the inside of the house, to loosen the fit so the latch can catch in the strike plate. Test and fine-tune to get a perfect fit by tweaking the screws and shutting the door to try the fit.

If you are replacing a uPVC door then yes you would need to replace both the frame and the door leaf as most of the uPVC frames are not interchangeable. Modern doors help to reduce draughts in your home, so ensuring that it is fitted properly is important.
If you are replacing a uPVC door then yes you would need to replace both the frame and the door leaf as most of the uPVC frames are not interchangeable. Modern doors help to reduce draughts in your home, so ensuring that it is fitted properly is important. The design of different doors usually means that the locking system is an integral part of the door, so the correct frame needs to be fitted at the same time as the door to ensure that the latch positions are matched. If you were to fit a new door into an old frame, it might not fit precisely into place, meaning that it would not seal correctly when closed causing unwanted draughts and additional strain on hinges. The door and frame are essentially a single system. Doors and windows are fitted in the same way, with the frame fastened to the external walls of your home. This means that there will normally be no disturbance of the decoration in your home, and you will not need to paint or wallpaper around your new door once it has been fitted.
