Need Help: Adjusting PORTA Apartment Front Door Hinge After Falling - Photos Attached

Question

Hello, I have gently fallen down and rub the door frame on the side of the handle of the PORTA apartment entrance door and I don't know how to adjust it. In the attachments I am sending photos of the shots that can be used to shoot anything.

Has anyone had contact with such a door?

olador · Answer

- place a wooden wedge under the wing
- unscrew, loosen the hexagonal socket screw in the recess of the door frame
- lift the door leaf by gently hammering the wedge / on the side where it fell /
- tighten the screws if it's ok.

@olador I didn't have a wedge so I loosened the screws a little, stuck the ratchet cap in and turned it and something helped. But I wasn't sure if that was the regulation. Get a wedge and do it again. And are these screws in the hinge for something? Do they only hold the hinge pin?

olador · Answer

... only hold the hinge pin

Hello.
I have the same door, although it has not dropped down, it just wedges at the bottom.
And I wonder whether the adjustment by removing the bolts and screwing the hinges, for example, by two turns or adjustment in some other way. Someone adjusted this door width?

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

Measure the width of the frame at the top and at the bottom with a tape measure. What are your dimensions? They should be the same. You can screw in one turn at first. Two may be too much and the leaf will push too much against the frame.

rafalwroclaw · Answer

The door is 8 years old.
So the hole diameter is unlikely to change.
I will start with 1 turn, but looking at the abrasion as in the photo it seems that 2 is the minimum.
I am more interested in the question of whether the adjustment takes place by removing the screws securing the pin and screwing in the hinges,

or with screws in the middle of the frame

First, check how much space you have between the door and the hinge frame. You will do it the easy way. Stick a plasticine ball on the door frame, put a piece of plasticine foil on the plasticine and close the door. When you open it, you will see (flattened plasticine) how much space you have to screw the hinges into the door.

From the photo it looks like you have a problem with the door frame more. It looks skewed.

Anyone has an idea how to remove this pin from the hinge, I unscrew the bottom screw and it will unscrew quite easily, but it cannot be unscrewed from the top, two screwdrivers have worked, and the pin does not budge. I tried to knock out from the bottom but nothing.
it looks like the bottom screw is securing the stem from slipping out.
anyone of you disassembled it?
does it twist or break? I mean the mandrel.
how do you dial it normally with a cross, do you need to have a specialized key?

I have been looking for a place where I can buy such a hinge for a long time. Anyone have any idea? Greetings.

Does anyone know what Allen screws look like from the adjustment (need to replace) or where will I get the entire hinge for such a door as in the topic?

HenrykBednarz · Answer

I will ask the question, my door frame has settled on the side of the handle and the door is wedged in the upper corner on the hinge, I have already left the max and it is impossible to continue.
It needs to lower the sash by 1 mm.
I'm thinking of grinding the hinge.
Do you have other ideas?
Porta exterior doors.

Hello, I have a problem with turning the lock when the door is closed. Do you think they fell somewhere on the hinges? Could there be another reason?

olador · Answer

The window in the frame into which the lock bolt fits is large enough to fit freely there. It can rub only against the edge of the window, the longer one - check it

bujakhubert · Answer

Only that I have no idea what to turn with such hinges, since there are no screws on the upper part of the hinge
