Door alignment

Is that all? Some of the flag hinges have combined left/right and in/out adjustments, where one function operates per rotation and the other operates over several rotations ...

yup

I don't know what you mean by 'in out'. Each hinge has just one L-R movement direction.

alters the gap between frame and door, to make sure seals fit tightly, do you know the make/model of hinges?

I have a problem with an old upvc porch door. You lift the handle with it open, the lock turns, you do it with it shut and it won't. The problem is how do you figure out which of the four posts is not travelling fully up or down? Brian

OK, there's no in-out adjustment, and afaics it's not needed. Just one adjustment:

All I'm left with at the mo is experimentation, plan to loosen the hinge screws to permit adjustment & play, but any better guidance could be a help.

Try removing the panel retaining beading and check the panel alignment weges/packing strips. The door "squareness" can be adjusted by judicious packing of the panels/glass of most DG doors.

What panel do you mean? You lost me. I shall check the door squareness.

I once had the same problem - it was resolved by adjusting the hinge and this stopped the roller from bottoming in the slot.

An Allen key in the top turns an eccentric pillar this adjusting the door from side to side and in and out. Allen key underneath adjusts height. get the seal face right and then use the adjuster at the end of the flag to move the door on and out to get it right.

I thing he means, remove the beads that hold the glazed panel in place, then you can check the bottom/side packers to see if the panel(s) have been toe'n'heeled properly, if not that will tend to make the door pull out of square.

right, now I know.

it sits flat against the frame ok

The question is how to set that. So far no approach has really proven effective

Most double glazed doors have either glass panels or insulated plastic sheet panels instead. The mounting being similar ie snap in beading. Toe and heeling correctly allows the squareness of the door to be adjusted. There's probably something on you tube showing the method.

Found you one. There's a few others.
