Gap front door

[Nissens]

Had exactly the same problem on 2 exterior doors. Gaps at the corners on the lock side.
The door leaves had warped.
Got 2 new ones on warranty

In the picture, however, it doesn't look like the door has warped; it seems to be crooked sideways, not inside out...

The easiest way to see if the door is crooked is from the outside.
Check the distance between the door leaf/frame.
It's also possible to adjust the height of the door leaf.

 

[NicklasP]

This is what it looks like from the outside.
Checked the inside now and the measurements differ when the door is in the closed position (see the different sides in the pictures).
Where it measures about 1.5cm is on the lock side.

Could it then be due to the låsblecket rather than the door leaf?

The likely issue is that the door frame needs to be adjusted so that the door leaf (most likely) gets a larger measurement from the frame at the top.
You need to be on site to get a complete overview of your door.

The likely issue is that the door frame needs adjustment so that the door leaf (probably) has a greater distance from the frame at the top. You need to be on-site to get a complete overview of your door.

Could it actually be because of the strike plate anyway since I had to put it with a small spacer for the Yale lock to work? The strike plate was initially completely flush, but then the Yale lock would not deploy and lock the door.

was it only gaping in the lower right corner or also in the upper corner?

both upper and lower on one
Only lower on the other

 

[Tomture61]

could it even be because of the strike plate still since I had to set it with a small spacer for the yale lock to work? The strike plate was flush at first but then the yale lock didn't extend and lock the door

Now I see that your door does not close 100% Are you completely sure that the strike plate belongs to the lock case?

Now I see that your door doesn't close 100%.
Are you sure the strike plate belongs to the lock case?

Yes! Took the strike plate that came with the Yale L3 which I installed at the same time.
The problem that arose was that the "bolt" in the lock case didn't fully extend when the strike plate was mounted flush, so I had to set it with a small spacer from the edge that is visible in the picture.

Yes! Took the "blecket" that came with the Yale L3 which I installed at the same time. The problem that occurred was that the "fallet" in the lock case didn't fully extend when the "blecket" was mounted edge to edge, so I had to set it with a small distance from the edge as seen in the picture.

You should have had an end "bleck" with a smaller "plösmått." It's called 1487-1 instead of -2.

Are the measurements the same at the top and bottom? If yes, you need to adjust the frame to fit the door leaf. If no, then the wrong "plösmått" is on the end "bleck."

You should have had an endplate with a smaller plös measurement. It's called 1487-1 instead of -2.

Is it the same measurement at the top and bottom? If yes, then you need to adjust the frame according to the door leaf. If no, then the wrong plös measurement is on the endplate.

At the top (right) it is not the same measurement as it is at the bottom (right).
I suppose the problem arises because the door doesn't close properly, which means I need to buy a new strike plate?
It should then be mounted edge to edge and possibly adjusted slightly, but that should seal it?

Then you need to adjust the frame. If you move out the lower corner, the door leaf will close simultaneously at the top and bottom.

 

[NicklasP]

I will return to this thread.
I have tested 1487-1 which has a smaller plösmått and was better but not 100%.

Also bought a 1489-11 adjustable but it doesn't fit.

I suppose the only thing left to do is to adjust the frame via the karmskruvarna, right?

Can anyone form an opinion and explain which screw(s) I should adjust if so?

 

[NicklasP]

Bump, anyone who can give any new tips?
It's starting to get cold as hell as cold air comes in

 

[Tomture61]

If you have the same measurement both at the top and bottom on the lock side, the measurement between the door leaf/door frame, there is no adjustment you can make to the placement of the door frame.
If the door leaf does not go in far enough to seal properly, then you only have the lock plate left.
It is the only thing that controls how far in the door leaf goes.

If you have the same measurements both at the top and bottom on the lock side, the measurement between the door leaf/door frame, there is no adjustment you can make to the door frame's placement. If the door leaf does not go in far enough to seal properly, you only have the strike plate left. It is the only thing that controls how far in the door leaf goes.

On the lock side, there is no difference in the measurements. See images 1 and 2.

However, it looks like the door is "sloping" down to the right. See images 3 and 4.

Could that be the cause?
