As a service engineer I retro fit flag hinges quite often andf I can tell you you've positioned the hinge on the frame in the wrong place, yes the door swings but if you look at the video at 18.57 you will see the door sash is touching the hinge backplate already so you cannot adjust the door laterally to the left anymore in case you needed to, your mistake was using the same holes in the frame from the existing hinges, you should have drilled two fresh holes for the locating pins 5mm further to the left

Good video - thank you. Some years ago, I started to replace old hinges (same as in the video) on a 830 wide exterior door, with a lower steel-reinforced panel. On drilling for the first flag part of the middle hinge, I realised that the door plastic did not have a steel inner. I was therefore concerned that the 4 screws (plus two pins) per hinge would not securely hold the weight of the door in the long term, and start to sag. I backtracked and was able to adjust the old hinges more to get a good fit. In your experience is screwing into door-plastic sufficiently strong? It looked like is is, in the video.

Im a caretaker at a nursing home and they have 4 of these doors but really f'ing wide and old - all of them have dropped and one of them the top hinge has snapped exactly like the hinge you was holding at the start but snapped on the thin part connecting at the middle...ive ordered a replacement like you did without watching this but I have a feeling it won't fit and even then I wont be able to adjust the door as its dropped and leaves a gap at the top handle side and the lock wont lock unless you lift the door as its pointing diagonally in the lock case...my question is the hinges used to connect to the side of the door but now you put the hinge on the face of the door...will the face of the doors plastic be enough to hold the door? The doors ill be working with are wider and heavier and all have 4 hinges. So you dont need to take the door off even if its dropped a bit as hopefully you have adjustment after they are fitted you just fit them one by one then adjust them all? thanks for this video mate they would have needed new doors otherwise. Ill try and post a followup vid of me fitting them but would appreciate any advice. Like I said its pretty urgent as one has completely broke and is stressing all the other hinges, I've had to prohibit the use of the door for use only in an emergency but the staff there dont care and will prob still use it for smoke breaks...sorry for the long comment.

If you use some shims to allow some space on the underside of the door, ie wood or plastic packers, make sure it’s the same amount as level to the frame and paddle the doors up to slide your shims in when in the locked position. When all the hinges are fitted, use the paddles again to push up the bottom of the door to pull out your shims and it will return to where you set it. Then adjust if required. Can always Repair upvc doors, so many people say you need a new door when you really don’t. Great video 👍🏻👏🏻
