Frech uPVC Door Offset

Hi, just looking for some advice. Picked up a set of French doors off Donedeal new. I know I should have ordered via standard company but required quickly and they had in stock.

Anyway installed the doors and they are massively offset. So much you can see light at top of door. The doors have hinges which have two allen head screws. I have started messing with them and got the door moving by changing the one closer to frame. This is moving a little but just wondering what is recommendation, do I need to move all 3 at the same time or just one etc? Thanks

Depending on the adjustment required, at least two must be adjusted in alignment with each other - otherwise you're pulling the frame away from the wall or the door.

So if it's a height adjustment, then all three need to be adjusted.

If it's alignment against the top/bottom frame, then you can adjust the two next to each other while using the third as the pivot point, if you get my meaning.

Not unusual to have gaps when first fitted, but is it square and true? Sounds like it might not be.

Also, did you heal-toe the door correctly?
