You may need to use a Spanish windlass type system with thin wire and a small peg.
Can you post a picture of where you are at with it?
Yes ok. i'll try and get a picture posted in the morning. Cheers.
This failed, as I had to fix it halfway down the door because of the window winder mechanism being in the way, and it didn't give sufficient twist.
I then tried the Rigging Adjuster and stainless wire method. With this I was able to go from the top of the door to the bottom corner diagonally without fouling the window winder.
THIS WORKED WELL and pulled the corner in nicely.
However, When I replaced the door card, disaster struck. The door wouldn't shut. because the door card was tight up against the sill.
On investigation, I find that during refurbishment by the previous owner, the thin plywood panel (used to stiffen the door) is not attached to the door frame along the bottom leaving a gap which in turn affects the fit of the door card.
The reason it is not attached is because the return flange on the door has been flattened and leaves nothing to attach
the plywood panel to. Project abandoned.
