Funnily enough figured this out the other day looking at the door and wondering if it was adjustable I saw some little cams and hex nuts. Different to yours but similar idea. Turned them and lo and behold, tight seal. Despite being quite handy I'd not known this. As regards the post below, school taught us to be inquistive and methodical so I guess that helped me figure it out, but then I did become an engineer.

@FixitwithFowler

6 ай бұрын

Hi, thankz for your great comment it really means a lot to get great feedback on my videos!

If the door or window has dropped then you must reglaze it properly using toe and heel method before attempting this. When adjusting them try one cam at a time because you'll find the handle will be tougher to throw up (don't pull up the handle from above, always use the ball of your hand to push up from below, much easier, especially with arthritis) and if the handle doesn't travel all the way you'll struggle to turn the key in the barrel, so go gently and imagine the cams as a clock, 12. 3. 6. 9. Hr setting and going in-between these hours is absolutely fine. Also spray the lock barrel and moving parts on the door lock and window hinges with WD-40, using the supplied straw is best, couple times a year as they can go dry and seize up. JUST REMEMBER WHEN ADJUSTING DOORS AND IT SEALS BETTER, YOU MUST TRY LOCKING WITH THE KEY! IF KEY NOT TURNING AND THE LOCK BARREL IS DEFINITELY CENTRAL AND RETAINING SCREW TIGHTENED THEN REVERSE SLOWLY YOUR ACTIONS ON ONE CAM AT A TIME UNTIL YOU HIT THE SWEETSPOT OF THAT KEY TURNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN TO LOCK.

Checked my door after seeing your video all four adjusters are set to summer & have been for the last 27 years ..
