From constant use, being opened and closed, it's quite normal for a uPVC door to drop or become loose in the hinges over time. It's good practice to check the hinges on a regular basis to make any minor adjustments to keep your door fitting snugly in the frame.

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.

uPVC doors offer quality insulation and draft proofing, helping to keep warm air inside and cold air outside. This will save you money on your heating bills as heated air will remain in the house, so the heating doesn’t need to be on as much. UPVC doors are constructed with layers of insulating material sandwiched between the outer UPVC casing. This gives them excellent thermal properties that help regulate the temperature in your home. In addition to the doors themselves, the frame also provides excellent draught proofing. By being perfectly fitted to the door, and featuring a rubber gasket that seals any gaps, the whole system of the door is an excellent barrier.
