    Default How do you adjust this aluminium glass door?

    i have a door with concealed hinges and hydraulic closer, its started rubbing on the tiles at the bottom and making a noise as the the bottom of the door just clips the tiles so the door has dropped a little bit, how do i fix this to raise it slightly?

    The pics don't really help much nor does your story so being the age it is
    Before attempting anything undo and or remove the closer.
    If all the base of the door is clipping tiles then you need to raise the whole door which means removing it completely then probably pack the bottom with maybe some washers while easing the top, however
    If the outer edge of the door is clipping tiles then you need to most likely adjust the top hinge to move the top of the door closer to frame (if possible)
    This is one of those "let's undo the 2 bolts on top and see what happens" (of course you will place a tapered wedge under the door to stop it dropping and breaking tiles BEFORE touching the top hinge)
    Next you could undo the screw and again see what happens.

    I'd be looking at the bottom pivot point to see if there is a way to turn it to raise (and lower) it. Eg using a flat spanner such as those used on bikes and other tight spaces
