Composite door won't close

    My folks composite door won't close properly. I can see a slight drop on the bottom right of the door but adjusting the hinges looks problematic. There isn't an Allen key option like on most other doors. See pic of hinges. As a stop gap to enable the closing of the door I have removed the top and bottom locking plates. Any help greatly appreciated

    I'm assuming that the door used to close correctly?

    In that case you shouldnt have to adjust anything. If the drop your noticing is on the outside of the leaf (i.e. opposite side to the hinges) it most likely means the glazing wasnt packed out sufficiently when it was installed and the door has dropped out of square. The process is called "toe and heel" - google it

    A glazer will fix it for less than 40 euros i would think.

    Is it composite? It looks more like PVC

    Please tell me that you're not looking at that hinge in OP picture when the door is closed. Please...
