Balcony plastic doors are subjected to intense stress, especially if there is or workplace. A balcony door may experience a deforming load due to the formation of condensate or temperature differences. Then it ceases to function normally and the question arises: how to repair the plastic door leading to the balcony with your own hands?

In the article we will answer these questions, briefly describing the malfunctions and ways to fix them, which you can do yourself.

Causes of failure of PVC doors and windows

PVC profile, which is used in the manufacture of balcony doors and windows, must initially cope with such loads. But time, careless handling or increased load on fasteners can lead to door breakage or loose fit to the door frame. These defects not only create inconvenience in use, but also tend to further aggravate the situation, up to the failure of the fastening elements or locking the doors.

To prevent this from happening, it is sometimes necessary to carry out preventive work. In case of obvious damage - to make repairs.

It should be noted that not every repair of balcony doors and windows can be done by hand. Large surface defects, destruction of the frame, violation of the integrity of the double-glazed window, deformation of the door frame due to impact cannot be repaired. high temperatures. In these cases, it is necessary to contact the company that installed the doors or to specialists working in this profile.

Minor repairs of plastic doors and windows, which can be done by hand, may consist of the following operations:

• handle repair;
• seal;
• small surface defects;
• clamps;
• replacement of a double-glazed window;
• door position adjustment.

Tools for repair

Before you start repairing a PVC profile door, you need to prepare a tool that you may need in the process.

Any specialized equipment for minor repairs of balcony doors and windows is not required.

In most cases, it is available in every home.

• screwdriver with interchangeable bits (screwdriver set);
• screwdriver-drill (battery);
• set of drills for metal ∅1-10 mm;
• building level;
• construction plumb;
• a set of hex keys;
• pliers;
• saw for metal;
• mallet with white rubber drummer;
• spatula made of white rubber;
• plastic or wooden spatulas for cashing out.

Consumables that may be required when repairing PVC profile products include:

• adhesive for PVC Cosmofen Plus-S white;
• adhesive-sealant Cosmofen 345;
• putty COSMOFEN RM for the restoration of hard PVC products;
• rubber seals - if they are damaged and need to be replaced;
• door handles and latches - in case of breakage;
• plastic pads.

New seals, handles and gaskets must be from the same manufacturer as your doors!

In the case of repairing dents, cracks and chips on the surface of a balcony door, sanding paper may be required to grind surfaces with a grit of P-1000 or P-1200 according to ISO or M20 according to GOST (the designations of different producing countries may have their own grit designation).

Door and window adjustment

The most common problem is the loose closing of doors and windows due to sagging under its own weight or loosening of the hinge fasteners.

To eliminate the skew with your own hands, first determine the verticality of the door leaf relative to the door frame using a plumb line. A plastic marker (water-soluble) marks the places where the door catches on the frame.

After that, the decorative plug is removed from the upper door hinge and the position of the door is adjusted using hex keys.

In this case, it should be remembered that the upper screw from the end controls the movement of the door in the vertical plane, and the screw located on the side in the horizontal plane.

If by adjusting the upper hinge it is not possible to achieve a distortion of the door leaf, the same operation is performed with the lower hinge.

After the adjustment is completed, the decorative trims on the hinges are put in place.

Door handle replacement

The most common and at the same time easily eliminated cause.

To remove a broken handle, it is necessary to set the broken handle to a horizontal position - parallel to the floor, press and turn the decorative plug at the base of the handle by 90 °. Unscrew the exposed bolts and remove the broken handle. Pull out the square rod on which the handle was attached. Install a new handle with a square rod and secure with the bolts unscrewed when dismantling the old handle. Turn the decorative cap at the base of the handle to its original position, covering the heads of the self-tapping screws.

Seal replacement

A defect in the rubber seal occurs, as a rule, as a result of mechanical damage by hard or sharp objects.

To replace it with your own hands, the old seal is first dismantled. This is done mechanically using a flat screwdriver or chisel. The grooves under the old seal must be completely cleaned of adhesive residue and dust. Before installing a new seal, the groove surface is wiped with Kalosh gasoline or 96% denatured alcohol for degreasing.

The new seal must be of the same manufacturer as the door, and the width and height of the profile must match the old seal.

After the grease-free groove dries, we proceed to install a new seal by pressing it in with your fingers. When installing, do not tighten the seal. Installation is done from the bottom up. At the end of the installation, the excess length of the seal is cut off with a sharp knife, and the ends of the sealing tape are additionally fixed with glue.

You can close the door only after waiting for the glue to dry completely.

Double-glazed window replacement

If a double-glazed window of a balcony door is broken, you must first order a new one from the manufacturer that installed the doors. A measurer must come to you and measure the dimensions of the double-glazed window to be replaced. It is strongly not recommended to take measurements on your own.

Without being a specialist in the installation of PVC profile products, you are unlikely to be able to take into account the required technological tolerances and accurately measure the thickness of the double-glazed window with the measuring tools at hand.

After the new double-glazed window is delivered to you, it is necessary to dismantle the broken one. To do this, with the help of plastic or wooden spatulas and a mallet, the cashing is removed, holding the double-glazed window in the door frame. The old (broken) double-glazed window is removed. The grooves in which it was installed are thoroughly cleaned of dust and glass fragments, degreased with gasoline or alcohol. After drying, we install a new double-glazed window and fix it with the removed cashing.

When replacing glass with your own hands, be sure to observe the following conditions:

• All work with glass must be carried out in cotton work gloves
• When dismantling and installing cashing, do not use excessive force. If you cannot withdraw the cash and dismantle the broken double-glazed window on your own, it is better to invite the master.
• Do not apply metal tool in contact with glass and plastic. The plastic may be scratched or damaged. Glass from contact with metal can burst.

Repair of scratches and dents

Using a rubber spatula, apply COSMOFEN RM putty to shallow dents or scratches. After complete drying within the period indicated on the putty package, we process it with sanding paper and cover it with matte or glossy varnish - depending on the material from which the doors are made.

Instead of a conclusion

We briefly reviewed the most common malfunctions of PVC balcony doors and windows and how to fix them yourself. Not all damage to balcony doors can be repaired on our own. Sometimes you need a special tool that not everyone has at home. Sometimes - the replacement of elements of a plastic structure that cannot be eliminated by any adhesives.

In any case, to carry out some repairs is within the power of everyone, in which we wish you success.

And minor repairs that you can do yourself with a screwdriver and other common tools at hand. The main thing is to correctly assess the degree of complexity of the breakdown. In case of self-doubt or serious problems, non-professional intervention can aggravate the situation and lead to a complete failure of the door and, accordingly, its replacement.

Causes of malfunctions

While windows and doors are under warranty, of course, it is better to entrust all work to the installer. However, the longer the window and door block is, the greater the likelihood of defects that can be caused by various reasons:

• installation errors;
• natural shrinkage of the building, especially new buildings;
• careless operation of products, lack of proper care and preventive measures;
• sudden changes in temperature, increased exposure to solar radiation.

Regardless of the cause of the occurrence, malfunctions of the balcony door lead to drafts, deterioration of the heat and sound insulation of the room, and with advanced problems, to the inability to fully use the window and door structure.

Poor opening / closing of the sash

Do not ignore any slight change in the tightness of the door, as even a slight sag can lead to more serious deformations of the door leaf. The sooner you fix the problem, the less the risk of other breakdowns and the greater the level of comfort in the room. Such a defect in operation can occur for several reasons:

• sagging of the canvas under its own weight;
• bad or worn seal;
• failure of the door hardware.

The real reason for incomplete opening/closing is not always obvious. In order to quickly find and fix it, it is recommended to consistently inspect and adjust important components.

Hinge adjustment

This is the first and main type of minor repair of a balcony door, as follows:

Cam adjustment

A common problem, which is especially felt in winter, is the cracks in the line of adjoining the canvas to the frame. Cold air, noise and dust enter the room through them. There are several eccentrics on the lateral end of the sash, which can be used to adjust the tightness of the door.

Insert the hex wrench into the trunnion

You can find problem areas with paper: hold a small sheet between the canvas and the frame and close the door tightly. If the fit is good, then it will hold on, falling and not moving. Otherwise, you need to adjust the eccentric to the desired level. In the same way, check the tightness of the sash against the frame along the entire height of the door, adjust if necessary. If blowing from the side of the loop itself:

There are unpleasant situations when the door is completely blocked, or it remains to hang on one hinge, in this case, see the video instruction:

Seal replacement

The end of the service life and mechanical damage to the rubber seal is the next likely cause of sagging and poor fit of the web. As a rule, the service life of gaskets is several years after the installation of the door, then they must be replaced. Sequence of work:

If these manipulations did not lead to an improvement in the situation, it is better to contact a specialist - perhaps the fittings need to be replaced.

Handle adjustment and replacement

If the door fits snugly against the frame, but the closing mechanism does not work, then the reason is usually in the handle or core. A broken handle is easy to fix. For this you need:

• turn the decorative cap covering the attachment points to the canvas by 90 degrees;
• tighten the screws with a screwdriver, adjusting the degree of pressure;
• put the plug back in place.

If the core is broken, then the handle cannot be repaired. In this case, it can be easily replaced with a new one. For this:

1. Rotate the plug at the base, freeing access to the fixing screws.
2. Unscrew the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
3. Remove the handle with the rod from the door structure.
4. Install a new one and fix with screws.
5. Install a cap that masks the fasteners.
6. Check the quality of installation, clamping and ease of opening the web.

Glass unit failures and replacement

In case of violation of the tightness of the double-glazed window, fogging of the inner glass is observed. In this case, it is better to replace it. Broken glass, severe damage to the lower blind part of the door leaf, the desire to replace the blind leaf with a glass one or vice versa also entail the dismantling and installation of a new double-glazed window. The operation is performed in a matter of minutes in the following sequence:

Elimination of scratches and chips

Plastic surfaces lend themselves well to restoration. Depending on the degree of damage, defects can be eliminated in several ways:

How to fix the creak

The creak of the hinges not only causes discomfort when using the structure, but also serves as a signal that the factory lubricant has been developed and a new batch is required, otherwise the fittings may fail. For convenience and accuracy of work, it is better to use a syringe that needs to be filled with any engine oil. Sequence:

In order for plastic doors to serve for a long time and without problems, you must not forget about care, prevent breakages in time. Fundamental rules:

• regularly treat the mechanisms with oil, and the rubber seal with a special spray - all care products can be purchased from window installation companies or specialized stores;
• regularly tighten the fastening of the handles;
• monitor the tightness of the door to the frame - if necessary, adjust the hinges;
• when opening / closing, turn the handle strictly to the required angle;
• prevent mechanical impact, excessive leaning on the door leaf and double-glazed window.

You can eliminate minor defects in plastic doors, make minor adjustments to the hinges and handles yourself. Larger repair (re-hanging, restoration of tightness welds, replacement of torn hinges) it is better to entrust professionals - it is difficult to independently perform this type of repair with the required level of quality.

A metal-plastic balcony door is a fairly reliable thing, but it is also subject to wear over time. The most popular problems are sagging under its own weight, drying out of the sealing gum, breakage of handles and fittings.

Breakdowns that you should not try to fix yourself include:

Cracks in the glass - such work requires the replacement of a double-glazed window;

• Violation of the integrity of the seams of the frame or door leaf;
• "Torn out" loops;
• Hardware breakdowns.

Everything else can and should be repaired by yourself, so as not to spend money on the work of craftsmen.

Door adjustment

The most common malfunction of metal-plastic balcony doors is sagging. If the door catches the frame when closing, and you have to lift it by the handle, you need to adjust the hinges. Otherwise, the fittings are subject to severe wear, and subsequently they will be destroyed and replaced.

The door is adjusted in this way: take a simple pencil and mark with it the places where the sash catches the frame. When such places are determined, the sash must be moved in the opposite direction. That is, if the door clings to the frame with the lower right corner, then when adjusting the hinges, it will need to be pulled up and to the left. Work must begin from the top loop. As a rule, the upper bolt on the hinge is responsible for the vertical displacement of the sash, and the lower bolt for the horizontal. Usually these are hexagon screws for 2, 3 or two and a half.

In most fitting systems, the adjusting bolts are hidden behind decorative plastic caps. To gain access to the adjustment, they must be carefully removed.

The second option for adjusting the door is to shift the center of mass. This is done by moving the double-glazed window in the right direction. Carefully remove the glazing beads that hold the glass unit in the door and move it to the side in such a way as to eliminate the sagging of the sash. To keep the double-glazed window in this position, place plastic spacers, and then install the glazing beads in place.

When removing glazing beads, be sure to remember their location or mark where they were taken from. It is impossible to confuse the upper bead with the lower one or the left one with the right one in any case - their sizes may differ by several millimeters. Installing a larger glazing bead instead of a smaller one may cause cracking.

Elimination of drafts

Another type of repair of plastic doors on the balcony, which you can do with your own hands, is the elimination of drafts. If the door leaf is set evenly, but it still blows from the balcony, you need to change the sealing gum around the perimeter of the door and frame.

This is done in this way:

The sealing gum in the door dries out very quickly. So that it does not have to be changed too often, every six months it needs to be treated with special silicone-based compounds. You can buy one from the same company that installed your doors.

When mounting the seal, do not under any circumstances tighten it!

You can also fix smaller misunderstandings yourself:

If the door handle or lock is broken, they should not be repaired, but replaced.

Speaking of castles

If your balcony door has a lock (what if?), Which does not behave the way you would like, you can also fix it yourself. In particular, you can fix problems such as a jammed lock or broken core.

If the lock sticks:

1. Remove the plastic frame of the lock and the handle;
2. Unscrew the fixing bolts of the lock and the core (located at the end of the door);
3. Remove the lock and disassemble it;
4. Lubricate the moving parts with machine oil;
5. Assemble the castle;
6. Reinstall it and the handle in reverse order.

If there is a problem with the core, everything is much simpler. Repairing it, if possible, is definitely unprofitable. Therefore, the "secret" of the castle must simply be replaced.

This can be done without even removing the handle and without taking the lock out of the door leaf:

1. Open the door and unscrew the fixing bolt of the core. It is located immediately under the crossbar (retractable part) of the castle;
2. Push the core out of the door leaf;
3. Install a new secret in its place;
4. Screw the fixing bolt into place.

These simple manipulations will return the metal-plastic balcony door to its former functionality and reliability. Remember that in case of more serious damage, it is highly not recommended to take on the repair of plastic balcony doors on your own. If something goes wrong, you can only make things worse. Your unsuccessful attempt can either significantly increase the cost of repairs or result in the need to replace a broken door.

Repair and adjustment of plastic balcony doors

The manufacture of plastic balcony doors is made from a fairly durable material, while their fittings are of very high quality. But as a result of a long service life, due to natural wear, the mechanisms begin to loosen up, the seal becomes not so strong, 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 shortcomings can be eliminated by independently making repairs and without resorting to the help of specialists.

Types of malfunctions of balcony doors

Before starting the repair, it is necessary to determine the type of malfunction that has occurred. Problems can be serious and self-repairable. Serious problems can only be eliminated by professional craftsmen, while basically the damaged part is completely replaced or the door is dismantled.

These serious faults include:

• a crack in the glass of the balcony, in this case it is necessary to completely replace the double-glazed window;
• destruction of fittings;
• violation of the integrity of the welds of the sash or frame;
• broken loops.

These problems cannot be fixed on your own.

Self-correcting faults include:

Problems arising during the opening and closing of the door - in order to troubleshoot, it is necessary to move the double-glazed window or adjust the door leaf using the fittings;

• the sashes are not pressed tightly against the frame - the pressure of the plastic doors should be adjusted;
• the integrity of the seal is broken;
• the profile surface is slightly damaged (this may be abrasive damage or scratches);
• shattered handle.

  Balcony door repair by adjusting fittings

The most common malfunction of a balcony door is its sagging under its own weight. As a result, it is slightly deformed, but there are no problems with its opening and closing. You just have to lift it up a little by the handle. This is not only inconvenient, but also negatively affects the service life of such fittings.

Repair of a balcony door begins with a mark, which is placed in the place where the door leaf touches the frame. The segment where the mark begins to shift away from the straight line is problematic. Repairing a balcony door by adjusting the fittings consists in moving the door sash in the direction opposite to the point at which it hits the frame. For example, if the sash clings to the threshold or frame with its lower corner, you should move it to the opposite side from the corner or up.

Regulation starts from the top loop. A hex wrench is installed in the slot of the adjusting screw and several turns are made clockwise, bringing the sash to the hinge. After that, the same adjustment is made on the lower loop. In most fitting systems, the upper screw contributes to the movement of the sash up and down, and the side screw to move it horizontally.

Repair of a plastic door leaf with a double-glazed window

This repair is as follows:

• remove the glazing beads that hold the double-glazed window;
• using a plastic or wooden spatula, the double-glazed window is shifted to the side so that the sagging of the sash disappears;
• spacer plastic spacers should be inserted into the gap instead of the blade;
• after that, the move is checked at the door, if everything is fine, the glazing beads are installed in place.

You should pay attention to the moment that the glazing beads must be installed. observing the position, i.e. the top should not be confused with the bottom, and the left with the right. This is necessary because the dimensions of the glazing beads differ from each other by several millimeters, and if you install such a larger part in place of a smaller one, a crack may form.

Seal replacement

If the plastic door does not close tightly, then in this case the repair will consist in replacing the sealing rubber. Basically, it is changed after a few years of operation, because it begins to lose its properties. Sometimes the seal wears out due to mechanical damage.

before repairing the door. you should buy a sealer. whose configuration is similar to the previous one. With the help of improvised tools, the old seal is removed from the groove and the new one is inserted into the mount. It should be rolled out evenly without pulling. At the corners, the seal should be cut and additionally fixed with rubber glue.

plastic door handle repair

A malfunction of this element leads to the fact that the plastic structure cannot be opened or it will constantly jam. The handle may turn very tight or not turn all the way. In this case, in order to eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to perform a horizontal adjustment of the door.

The latch is a device that keeps the door in the closed position after someone has stepped onto the balcony. This element begins to wear out over time and may break. Therefore, you need to buy a new latch and install. It is fastened with screws at the end of the door, and in order to replace it, the screws should be unscrewed, the broken latch removed and a new one inserted.

If the connection of the handle to the core is broken, then the locking mechanism, handle or latch may fail. To find out the cause of the malfunction, it is necessary to remove and turn the decorative cover, and then unscrew the fastening screws. Then you should check the pin that connects the handle and the core. If it turns out that it is cut off, then its remains must be knocked out and a new one inserted. If the problem is in the handle, then it is replaced with a new one. After that, the fastening screws are wrapped back. and the decorative cover is installed in place.

Conclusion

It is not advisable to independently repair a plastic balcony door, because only specialists can qualitatively eliminate all the shortcomings that have arisen during its operation. With rather serious problems, when repairs cannot solve anything, a new plastic door will need to be installed.
