To adjust a misaligned uPVC door, first, check if the problem is with the hinges or the lock. Use an Allen key to adjust the hinges: turn the top hinge to raise or lower the door and the bottom hinge for lateral adjustments. For issues with the lock, adjust the keeps on the frame using a screwdriver to ensure the door locks smoothly. Small, precise adjustments can make your door fit perfectly again.
