Composite door question

kinetic747 · 30 Nov 2021 at 15:05

I had a composite door fitted in the summer and now that winters here I'm wondering if it's sealing correctly. There's no noticeable draught but if I push against the door from the inside when closed, there's a bit of movement. Is this normal or shouldn't there be any play with the handle in the locked position?

Possibly the door frame seal compressing when you press on it?

Yes, I had considered that a possibility. I'm going to bring a thermal camera home tomorrow just to be sure there's no cold air coming in. Thanks for the replies guys.

Couple of lengths of loo roll taped the length of the door will show you if you’re getting a draft. No need for fancy pants thermal camera

I was going to use it elsewhere and we're down to our last roll.

I've already mentioned this in the heat loss thread but your door probably has these adjusters too:

Thanks I'll take a look.
