How to change the seal on the plastic door. Replacing the sealing gum on the windows and doors of PVC. Types of sealing gum of plastic windows

Doors on the balcony or loggia, in contrast to interior species, are experiencing more intensive loads when opening, in many cases they work with significant drops of outdoor temperature and high humidity. Over time, it is wear out, not only their fittings can break and distinguish between their accessories, but also to lose their properties rubber seals - all this requires timely adjustment, repair or replacement of individual parts and nodes. To spend your own hands the adjustment and the simplest repair of plastic doors of the balcony is easy - there will be a household tool and some knowledge of the fitness device and its installation.

Fig. 1 Accessories of plastic balcony doors

Before repairing a plastic door on the balcony with your own hands, you need to know the malfunctions that cannot be independently eliminating and require help of specialists. These include:

large damage to the surface of the canvas with heavy solid objects or blows;
frame destruction in places of compounds or disruption of the integrity of welds;
the deformation of the canvas due to the effects of high temperatures (open fire, intensive solar radiation);
breaking the loops of the canvas and boxes, internal damage and breakdown of accessories (while the handle does not close);

With such faults, experts usually replace a broken door leaf or accessories.

Adjusting balcony doors

Balcony doors, especially with multi-chamber double-glazed windows, can over time, due to weakening loops or loosely close, so specialists are recommended to be adjusted once a year. Many types of loops are equipped with accessories with adjusting screws under the hex head, so it will take a 4 mm hexagon. Adjusting balcony doors, like windows, is made in the following positions:

Fig. 3 Adjustment of PVC balcony doors vertically, horizontal

To check the clamping effort in the doors and windows between the closed sash and the box inserts a sheet of paper or cash bills - they must come from there with some effort. Checking is carried out along the entire length of the doors, if necessary, a loosely closing door to the balcony is additionally adjustable.

Repair of handles and locks

Before opening the balcony door from the inside, turn the handle that is experiencing significant loads, so weakening the attachment of the handle or the breakdown of a fairly common fault in all doors. Sometimes a tetrahedral pin is wearing with time and it turns into the hole in the hole in the hole, and the plastic door does not close.

Fig. 5 Replacing the handle or lock plastic door with their own hands

Its replacement or adjustment consists of simple operations:

The decorative plastic pad is delayed on itself and rotates 90 degrees.
With a cruciform screwdriver, screw the mounting screws or remove the broken knob.
Screw down a new handle. When replacing, you should remember the location of the removable handle and insert a new one in the same position, the old fastener can be reused.

Similar operations are carried out and when the door handle is replaced with the lock (in case of breaking the locking mechanism, the lock repair of the lock is nonrenized). If the castle of the plastic door is broken, it is first lubricated its parts and core, and in case of failure, the broken mechanism is replaced.

Replacing the seal

Over time, any door seal loses its physical properties - becomes tough and fragile, without providing a dense fitting of the door flap to the box. The main task is the selection of similar rubber for its profile, when it can be replaced, it can be purchased on a firm that establishes similar profiles of balcony doors. When replacing the seal, you must follow the following rules:

make a complete replacement, that is, on the frame and sash;
the replacement of the sealing tape in the sash must be made in the removed position - otherwise its installation will be difficult in the loop area;
the butcher of the rubber sealing tape must be glued, it is always done in the middle of the top of the sash and frame.

It is better to use a chamber profile tape to seal, it overlaps wider clearances than cheap petal species. It should be borne in mind that the replacement will require the acquisition of two types of sealing tapes that differ in the cross section - frame and shifted.

Works are carried out in the following sequence:

Fig. 6 Repair of a plastic balcony door with a sealing tape replacement

Clean the decorative plastic lining from the door loops, take out the upper holder in the form of a pin, remove the door leaf.
Fastening in the form of scissors, on which the door loop is holding, shifted aside and dismantle the old tape (the connection point is always at the top).
Insert a new tape (in order to avoid errors it is necessary to remember the placement of the old seal or navigate the larger cross section along the edge of the canvas) without strong tension in the corners.
After installing the tape, the scissors from the loop are returned to the place, the joint in the upper part glue with any rubber or super glue.
Similarly, they remove the old ribbon from the frame and install a new thick side instead of it with the edge, it is also glued at the top.

Replacing glass package

In order to accurately know the size of the new package when replacing with your own hands, you can remove damaged or measure it with a tape measure with removed corners. If the glass is broken, then the repair of the plastic door on the balcony do it yourself is quite simple. For this:

Using a flat screwdriver or a narrow spatula, the side and upper staps are removed, encouraging the tool into the gap between the corner and the plastic panel of the canvas.
The old package takes out, clean the perimeter of the installation from broken glass and dirt, insert new glazing and return the strokes in place.

When working, it should be borne in mind that double-glazed windows are made from ordinary sheet glass without further processing, so the hands are easy to cut about their edges - work should be carried out in gloves.

Fig. 7 Repair of glass package

Sometimes a balcony door, both from the inside, and outside can be scratched or have small dents (this happens if it slammed and we are opening it with pricked objects). In this case, eliminate defects and fix the plastic coating will help the special putty Cosmofen RM.

It is quite simple to adjust and repair the balcony door with the replacement of the handle, sealing and glass package - this will not require a special construction tool. If the inner door fittings broke or the canvas has significant mechanical damage, it is better to use the help of a specialist to repair.

In order to ensure trouble-free operation, you need to monitor the technical condition of the PVC balcony door. Repair of plastic balcony doors is better to spend regularly. Often, insignificant problems arise, to eliminate which is required for a minimum of time. Window glass windows need to be repaired not so often, since their sash does not savage under their own weight.

Repair kit

On the eve of work, it is better to purchase all the necessary materials in advance so that in the process not to spend time search.

You will need the following materials:

New fittings for replacing broken parts;
Plastic gaskets;
Liquid plastic and sealant (to eliminate scratches or cracks on plastic);
If there are cracks in the windshop itself, it is better to replace it. The definition of accurate dimensions is desirable to entrust specialists.
The new insulation will be needed if the system has been established for a long time (regardless of the presence of visible damage). Material in this case can be replaced in advance to avoid problems.

Features of PVC structures

Currently, most designs for window and balcony openings are performed from PVC profile. A firm that establishes double-glazed, also performs technical control during the warranty period and eliminates faults free. However, after the end of the warranty, the probability of breakdown only increases, so it is important to understand how the balcony sash is repaired.

To eliminate the sagging, use hexagons for repairing accessories.

Order of work:

1. Remove plugs with loops;

2. The upper screw allows you to adjust the design vertical, with a hexagon. To do this, turn the tool clockwise. Thus, the canvas will be attracted to the loop;

3. The end screw moves the horizontal design;

4. If necessary, regulate another loop.

What if shifted glazing and the door does not close?

We dismantle the strokes that fix the glass. Work by special blades;
Double-glazed windows separated from the web in the loop area using the blade for this. Clearance fill in plastic gasket;
Check the quality of work - the mechanism must be closed normally.
Installation of strokes for your previous place.

From the balcony door blows

Thanks to the PVC-design seal, the air and dust from the balcony does not fall into the room.

During operation, cracks may appear on the material, sometimes it loses the form or breaks. If a similar stage of wear has come, it is better to replace the tape of the seal.

Proper sequence:

You should buy a new material that will fully comply with the previous one (by type and sizes);
We dismantle the old ribbon;
The grooves should be carefully cleansed from the remnants of glue and accumulated dust;
We mount the new seal, the tape can be pressed with your finger, but do not stretch (the groove should be dry). The seal is laid, starting from the bottom. Such a principle is easy to explain: if part of the ribbon will break off during operation, it will not be saved;
The final step is the ends of the sealer cut, and the laid edges of the material are fixed with glue. During the drying of the glue, the door should not close.

To increase the service life of the seal, the material is necessary every six months to cover a special tool that will not allow drying. You can purchase a protective composition from PVC-windows manufacturers.

When replacing the glass package, you should also replace the sealing tape.

Door handle loosened

This procedure is considered the simplest, if compared with other problems. Depending on the extent damage, this item can be tightened in the right places, adjust or replace.

If the knob is loosened, the base bar must be rotated 90 degrees. Thus, it will be possible to regulate the self-tapping screws that attract the element to the PVC profile. In order to better fix the item, use a screwdriver.

Self-adjustment of screws with a screwdriver.

The need for replacement may appear unexpectedly when examining the mechanism.

Consider the procedure:

Turn the handle or part that is preserved, parallel to the floor;
We remove the plug, which is at the base (rotation of 90 degrees);
Unscrew the screws using a cross screwdriver;
We dismantle the handle along with the rod from the design;
Install a new mechanism in the socket. In the event that the rod is too long, you need to sprill it with a special machine;
Fix the screws. In the process you need to control the power to avoid damage to the pen or PVC profile;
Mount the latch back, masking the screws;
Check the installed item, namely, the door and the free handle handle.

Dismantling the handle with a crosst screwdriver.

Usually, the handle is installed from the inside of the room, but it is not always convenient.

If you spend a lot of time on the loggia, you can make a special latch from the outside and an element that helps pull up the door.

Cracks appeared on the plastic

Restoration of the surface of plastic is the elimination of cracks and scratches.

Plastic Recovery Methods:

1. Minor damage can be removed by the special composition of Kosmofen. After exposure to the means, the surface is covered with "liquid plastic".

2. Replacing the essential flaws on plastic, use cosmetic glue, which fill the gaps. For sealing deep cracks, white sealant is also suitable. After the aggregate dries, the surface is grinning with shallow sandpaper.

3. The final stage of the restoration - surface treatment with a special construction pencil.

Tightly closes the door

Sometimes when eliminating sagging, the door pull up too tightly, after which it is difficult to close.

In order to adjust the sash, it should be evenly loosen the loops. When rotating the upper and lower screw, the clamp will become weaker.

Double-glazed glass

This work is better to entrust professionals to avoid unpleasant consequences: condensate, frozen glasses, operational problems. If the warranty period is valid, you should contact the firm that set the PVC design. An independent installation may adversely affect the appearance.

If one glass is damaged, the glass replacement must be performed completely. So it turns out to maintain the hydro and thermal insulation of the structure.

What reasons lead to breakdowns

Installer error in the installation process and incorrect adjustment of fittings;
Shrinkage of the new building and deformation of the structure;
Incorrect operation of PVC structures;
Excessive exposure to the Sun (if sun rays are permanently falling on the balcony);
Sharp changes in air temperature.

In the event that there are similar problems when operating, repairs are needed. Moreover, such malfunctions can be eliminated independently, without attracting experienced specialists. In order for work to be successful, it is necessary to objectively analyze the volume of affairs and the presence of free time. If you evaluate that there is not enough free time, then contact your professionals.

Replace door seal

The seal is one of the main components of plastic doors, passes throughout the perimeter of the doorway. For guaranteed protection against the effect of the external environment, two contours of rubber seals are used. One contour is on the frame, the other on the door. In the premium plastic structures, some manufacturers make three seal contours.

The main activity of the company "Cozy House" is replacing the plastic balcony door seal in St. Petersburg (C-PB) and the Leningrad region (LO).

Our experts are carried out by replacing sealing rubber on plastic balcony doors of many well-known manufacturers: VEKA (century), Rehau (Rehau), Thyssen (Tissren), Montblank (Montblanc), Gealan (Gealan), Kbe (KBB), Plafen (Plafen), DeceUninck (Destenck) and others. The price of replacement of the rubber window seal is quite accessible.

When is the replacement of a plastic balcony sealer? (When should I change the seal in the balcony doors?)

Any rubber-technical product, even with proper care, over time loses its initial performance characteristics. The same happens with a sealing gum for doors. Over time, the door seal, as it were, "flattened", cracks appear on it, ruptures. So, he stops performing its function. From the door it becomes cold, drafts appear. To restore heat insulation replacing the plastic balcony door sealer (Replacing the rubber bands on the doors) becomes simply necessary.

Replacing the sealing gum of plastic doors is necessary when:

Blowing from a plastic balcony door

Plastic balcony door whistles

The plastic balcony seal was worn out, lost elasticity, cracks appeared, broke

How to independently determine whether you need to change the plastic balcony seal

Determine whether the sealer of the balcony doors can be replaced independently. Open the window sash, clean the seal from dirt with a damp cloth. Carefully inspect the seal on the door and box. The outer contour usually has more damage. If the sealant became solid, irregularities appeared (ruptures), the color sweating (became inhomogeneous) - such a plastic door sealant is subject to replacement. Because The outer circuit is more susceptible to wear, some owners, in order to save, prefer to replace it only, but, in this case, the door will relax and ensure that it will stop blowing out of the door, no one can.

How to choose a seal for a plastic balcony door?

Rubber seals of various manufacturers of plastic doors can be very different both by material, form, thickness and elasticity. Therefore, the diagnosis of the state of the seal, its choice and replacement is better to entrust the experienced qualified master.

Buy a sealing gum for plastic balcony doors in the usual constructionarket will not work. Firms that are professionally engaged in the repair of plastic windows and doors buy it in bulk, bays of 400-500 meters. For each manufacturer profiles its seal, because The size of the groove for the seal has each of its manufacturers.

Be careful when choosing a seal for its balcony doors from plastic, as in this market, as elsewhere, there are original sealing gum of well-known European manufacturers and analogs (Russian, Turkish, Chinese). Analogs make similar in shape, the dimensions do not always coincide. The composition and quality of such seals leave much to be desired. The selected sealer must comply with GOST 30778-2001.

GOST 30778-2001 on seals

GOST 30778-2001 Determines the scope, introduces the classification and designation of seals. Determines the technical requirements in the form and composition of the seals. Sets the rules of acceptance and methods for controlling finished products. Gives instructions on the operation, transportation and storage of seals.

We give the most interesting excerpts for us:

3 Classification and Designations

3.1 Designations of polymeric materials used for the manufacture of seals

Tre - thermoelastoplast;

EPDM - ethylenepropylene rubber (teriomer ethylene, propylene and diene with the remaining unsaturated part of the diene in the side chain);

ERM - ethylenepropylene rubber (ethylene-propylene copolymer);

VMQ - silicone rubbers containing methyl and vinylz-combined groups;

CR - chloroprene rubber.

3.4 Seals are divided depending on the types of window, door blocks and other structures, to compact the elements of which they apply:

D - for wooden window and door blocks;

P - for polyvinyl chloride window and door blocks;

A - for window and door blocks from aluminum alloys;

C - for special (other) structures.

8 Operating Instructions

8.2 The surfaces of the window and door blocks in contact with seals should be clean, they are not allowed scratches, sharp edges, narrowing, risks and other mechanical damage.

8.3 Installation of seals should be carried out without distortion, twists and mechanical damage, without jerks and shocks.

8.4 To facilitate installation and reducing friction, the processing of seals with a thin layer of silicone lubricant is allowed.

8.5 Seals are installed in the landing place without stretching.

Sealers for balcony plastic doors with the highest performance characteristics: REHAU 952 and KBE 228

It is best to operate themselves EPDM seals from well-known manufacturers: Rehau (Rehau), Kbe, Veka. Rehau and KBE seals are labeled throughout their length, which speaks of their authenticity. The KBE sealant is thicker, but it does not mean that it will better "hold." Based on the best motives, you can put the KBE seal, but the door may not close !!! It hurts an excessive thickness of the seal. Therefore, based on the size of the groove, the master decides on the spot, which sealant must be put instead of wear.

Today, there are often doors and window structures from plastic. It is convenient, practical and aesthetic. In this regard, many are solved on the installation of plastic structures. Like any other, they need full care. More often with the course of operation, some problems are observed from which no object is insured in the house.

Attention!The problem concerns the seeding of doors under its own weight, cracking or flattening of the seal. All this requires an immediate solution to the problem to ensure subsequent full-fledged operation. You can replace the rubber seal with your own hands, eliminating the need to contact the specialists.

A variety of seals from various materials for self-installation on the doors or windows

When is required replacement?

Replacing rubber seals on plastic doors is not a difficult occupation, but decide how much it is necessary. The sealing material is responsible for the tightness of the window or door leaf. Determine that the gum fell simply. Pay attention to the following factors:

The presence of condensate on windows or doors, which has not been before. This is due to the output of the rubber band and the lack of the possibility of a complete closing of the door or window canvas.
The gum was proud. The cause becomes long and intensive operation, as well as the lack of full-fledged design.
Waste the windows or door design and the appearance of a naked on the inner part of the structure.
The appearance of drafts indoors due to the fact that the door or window design is deployed.

If you notice any of these manifestations, the gum needs to be prompt. If you ignore the material replacement, the operation will bring discomfort.

Repair of rubber material by replacing it

What seal to choose?

Before reinforcement, select the material for windows or doors. Select several different types of gum, which differ in their appearance and characteristics. Among the sought-after are allocated five options. The first is rubber. For its manufacture use rubber and sulfur. This is a popular variety due to the available cost and ease of repair.

Another possible gum - EPDM. It is made from various polymer compounds. Such a material serves about 20 years and is distinguished by resistance to atmospheric phenomena. A distinctive feature becomes resistance to low temperatures. Even under their influence, the material does not crack.

Third Possible Type of Gum - Silicone. This material is characterized by an impressive service life reaching 40 years. The gum has a universal operation area, so it is equally used as for industrial and residential buildings. Among the advantages can be called high ecology, oxygen resistance, temperature drops and ozone.

In fourth place, you can select TPE elastic band. The material for it was the thermoelastoplasts. In other words, this is an improved view with high operational parameters. Today, this seal for windows and doors occupies a leading position.

The appearance of the old material requiring replacement and new

If you plan to save money, look at the PVC rubber band. This is a budget option that has modest operational characteristics. Its use is allowed in warm rooms, since in the rest there will be no sense. The service life of such a material reaches 3 years and is unlikely to exceed this period even with careful care.

How to extend the service life?

Many people do not know how to properly care for the door seal or window canvas to extend its service life and eliminate the need for replacement. The material itself is high-quality and durable, but despite this, he fails, that is, to wear out. To warn or stop it, use special lubricants. With their help protect the element from the negative effect of external factors.

Many different lubricants for rubber bands and doors are distinguished, which are characterized by cost and efficiency. Glycerin becomes available on the price range. This is a liquid that has no color. It is possible to find it in any pharmacy at low cost. It is used as a lubricant for windows and doors and PVC. It will cover the seals with a thin colorless layer of film, reliably protecting from a number of factors. The only drawback is low waterproofing properties.

Vaseline can be used. This lubricant is called universal, but it is suitable only for rubber seals. It covers their transparent layer, protecting against negative factors and moisture. This property is responsible for this as hydrophobicity. A vaseline disadvantage for windows and doors call a small range of operating temperatures. Protection is possible at temperatures from -25 to +28 degrees. If the temperature differences exceed these testimony, the protection will last long. The access will be purchased another means.

Installing a new rubber sealing material

VD-40 lubricant becomes in demand. It reliably protects seals for windows and doors, as well as builds of various types of equipment. Mineral oil is the main material. It provides high protection against moisture. A distinctive feature becomes also the comfort of use due to the fact that the remedy is sold in the form of a spray.

Also look at silicone lubricants. The impressive temperature range becomes their advantage, ranging from -50, finishing +230 degrees. Silicone greases for rubber bands and doors reliably protect them from various influences and prolong the service life.

The last possible option is a professional set. This is a special complex in which there is everything that will be needed for caring for accessories of windows and doors. Of course, the cost of a set is not suiced, the positive quality of the materials is able to increase the service life of the rubber band and eliminate the need for quickly replacement.

Metal-plastic balcony door - the thing is quite reliable, but it is susceptible to wear with time. The most popular problems - the sagging under our own weight, drying out the sealing gum, breakdowns of the handles and fittings.

To breakdowns that do not try to fix yourself, belong:

Cracks on the glasses - such work requires replacement of the glass machine;

Violation of the integrity of the seams of the frame or door sash;
"Drawn" loops;
Breakdown fittings.

Everything else can and need to repair yourself, so as not to spend money on the work of the masters.

Door adjustment

The most common malfunction of metal-plastic balcony doors - sagging. If the door when closed closes the frame, and it has to raise it for the handle - you need to adjust the loops. Otherwise, fittings are susceptible to strong wear, and subsequently, it is waiting for destruction and replacement.

The door adjustment is carried out in this way: take a simple pencil and mark it the place where the sash clings the frame. When such places are defined, the sash must be shifted in the opposite direction. That is, if the door clings to the frame with the bottom right angle, then when adjusting the loops it will need to pull up and left. Work must be started from the top loop. As a rule, the upper bolt on the loop is responsible for the vertical displacement of the sash, and the lower - for the horizontal. Usually these are screws under the hexagon on 2, 3 or two and a half.

In most accessories, adjustment bolts are hidden behind decorative plastic caps. To gain access to adjustment, they need to be carefully removed.

The second option of adjusting the door is the displacement of the mass center. This is done by moving the glass package in the desired side. Carefully remove the strokes that hold the double-glazed windows in the door, and shift it in the direction in such a way as to eliminate the sash savings. So that the double-glazed windows hold in that position, put plastic strips, and then set the strokes in place.

Removing the heads, be sure to remember their location or mark where they were removed from. Converting the upper strap with the bottom or left with the right cannot in any way - their dimensions may differ by several millimeters. Installing a larger pin instead of a smaller can entail the formation of cracks.

Elimination of drafts

Another type of repair of plastic doors on the balcony, which can be performed with your own hands - elimination of drafts. If the door canvas is exhibited smoothly, but from the balcony still blows - you need to change the sealing gum around the perimeter of the door and frame.

This is done in this way:

Sealing gum in the door very quickly dries. So that it should not be changed too often, once every six months she needs to be treated with special compositions on silicone basis. You can buy this in the same company that has installed your doors.

By mounting the seal, in no case do not pull it out!

Predupless can be eliminated and smaller misunderstandings:

If the door handle or the lock is broken - they need to not be repaired, but to change.

By the way, about castles

If the lock is installed in your balcony door (what if?), Who behaves not as much as you would like, it can also be established by himself. In particular, you can correct problems such as the locking of the lock or the core breakage.

If the lock is hired:

Remove the plastic edging of the lock and the handle;
Remove the lock and core fastening bolts (located on the door of the door);
Remove the lock and disassemble it;
Lubricate moving parts with machine oil;
Collect the castle;
Install it and the handle in place by performing actions in the reverse order.

If the problem with the core - everything is much easier. Repair it, if possible, is uniquely unprofiled. Therefore, the "secret" of the castle must be simply replaced.

You can do it, even without removing the handles and not getting a lock from the door sash:

Open the door and unscrew the core fastening bolt. It is immediately under the reiguel (retractable part) of the castle;
Push the core from the doorway;
Install the new secret on its place;
Tighten the fastening bolt in your place.

These simple manipulations will allow returning the plasticity and reliability to return the metal-plastic balcony doors. Remember that in case more serious damage, it is not recommended for repairing plastic doors of the balcony yourself. If something goes wrong - you can only aggravate the position. Your unsuccessful attempt can either significantly increase the cost of repair work, or lead to the need to replace the broken door.

Repair and adjustment of plastic balcony doors

The manufacture of plastic balcony doors is made from a rather durable material, while their accessories are very high quality. But as a result of a long service life, mechanisms begin to break out due to natural wear, the sealant becomes not so durable, cracks appear on it. On the surface of the door there are various defects from mechanical influences. This means that the balcony door has become unusable. Many flaws can be eliminated, independently making repairs and without resorting to the help of specialists.

Types of balcony doors

Before starting repair, it is necessary to decide on the type of fault. Problems can be serious and self-eliminated. Serious problems are able to eliminate only professional wizards, while mainly the damaged item is completely replaced or the door disassembly.

These serious faults include:

a crack in a balcony glass, in this case it is necessary to completely replace the glass;
destruction of the elements of the fittings;
violation of the integrity of the welds of the sash or frame;
cuttered loops.

These malfunctions can not be eliminated.

The faults eliminated independently include:

Problems arising during the opening and closing of the door - to troubleshoot problems, you need to move the glass unit or adjust the door leaf using the possibilities of the accessories;

the sash to the frame is pressed to be close - you should adjust the clamp of plastic doors;
broken the integrity of the seal;
the surface of the profile is a bit damaged (it can be abrasive damage or scratches);
disturbed handle.
Repair of the balcony door with adjustment of fittings

The most common malfunction of the balcony door is its sagging under its own weight. As a result, it is a bit deformed, but there are no problems with its opening and closing. Just having to raise her a little behind the handle. This is not only inconvenient, but also negatively affects the service life of such fittings.

The repair of the balcony door begins with the mark of the mark, which is placed in the place where the door sash touches the frame. That segment where the mark begins to shift away from the straight line, and is problematic. The repair of the balcony door by adjusting the accessories is to shift the door sash in the direction opposite to the point in which it touches the frame. For example, if the sash is clinging the threshold or frame, it should be shifted into an opposite side of the side or up.

Regulation starts from the top loop. In the slot of the adjusting screw, you install the hex key and are clockwise several revs, leading to the hinge. After that, on the bottom loop, they perform the same adjustment. Most fitting systems, the upper screw contributes to the movement of the end-down, and the side - for offsetting it horizontally.

Repair of plastic door leaf using glass

This repair is as follows:

remove the strokes that hold the glass;
with the help of a plastic or wooden blade shovel shift the glass in the direction in such a way that the sash savings disappeared;
in the gap instead of the blades, remote plastic gaskets should be inserted;
after that, the door check the move if everything is fine - the strokes are installed in place.

Attention should be paid at the time that the strokes must be installed. By observing the situation, that is, the top should not be confused with the bottom, and the left - with the right. This is necessary because the sizes of the strokes differ from each other to several millimeters, and if you install such a part of a larger size to the place of smaller, a crack may form.

Replacing the seal

If the plastic door closes loosely, then in this case the repairs will be to replace the sealing rubber. Basically, it is changed in several years of operation, because it begins to lose its properties. Sometimes the sealer is worn due to mechanical damage.

Before repairing the door. You should protect the seal. The configuration of which is similar to the previous one. With the help of girlfriend tools from the groove, take out the old seal and insert the fastening of the new one. It should not be tightened evenly. At the corners, the seal should be cut and further fix the rubber glue.

Repair Plastic Door Handle

The malfunction of this element leads to the fact that the plastic design cannot be opened or it will constantly jam. The handle can be rotated very tight or not checked to the end. In this case, to troubleshoot, you need to perform horizontal door adjustment.

The latch is a device that holds the door in a closed position after someone entered the balcony. This element over time begins to wear and can break. Therefore, you need to buy a new latch and install. It is fastened with the helns in the door of the door, and in order to replace it, the screws should be turned out, remove the broken latch and insert a new one.

If the connection of the handle with the core is broken, then the locking mechanism, pen or latch can fail. To find out the cause of the fault, it is necessary to remove and rotate the decorative lid, and then turn the mounting screws. Then check the pin, which connects the handle and core. If it turns out that it is cut, then its remnants need to knock out and insert a new one. If the problem is in the handle, then it is replaced with a new one. After that, the screws fastening turn back. And the decorative lid is installed in place.

Conclusion

It is inappropriate to repair a plastic balcony door independently, because only specialists can eliminate all the disadvantages that arose in the process of its operation. With quite serious problems when the repair cannot decide anything, the installation of a new plastic door will be required.
