Does this composite door adjust to the frame?

    I have attached my composite front door and it is perfectly sealed around the entire door frame except the bottom right which I highlighted, and I can see that's where the door sort of protrudes out past the frame by a mil or 2 compared to the rest of it. Is there any adjustment I can make to bring it more in line like the rest of the door?

    Also the seal is in perfect condition.

    It is probably the bottom hinge has gone faulty.try switching the middle hinge for the bottom hinge and see if that fixes the problem.if it does then you need a new hinge

    Might be under warranty?

    I would guess that the door is hitting off the skirting board on the bit of wall at the side there and this is putting pressure on the bottom hinge when the door is fully opened

    Swapped around the 4th hinge with the 2nd, exactly the same, it's just the bottom is like a few mm past the frame down the bottom right where as everywhere else it is flush with the frame evenly the whole way round.

    It's actually a wooden door might I add

    Put a straight edge down the door and then one down the frame. Either one or the other is in wind. If it’s the frame it’s actually an easier fix than the door. If it’s the door you can try moving and pulling in the hinge, it’s not ideal but it’s probably one of your only options. There is a larger seal can be put onto the frame too which may help.

    Got a composit door fit a couple of years ago...The fitters told me if it starts to catch...Leave it and call them. It can sometimes needs to be readjusted...We've yet to have an issue, but my SIL got hers installed around the same time and had a couple of issues but all fixed just by adjusting the hinges

    A composite door is hung using a different hinge with a completely separate adjustment on them.

    It's the bottom of the frame that's not square

    Have you confirmed that the frame is definitely off square.if so time to ring the company who fitted the door as it will have to be square,d up or won't seal

    Im not saying it’s impossible but unlikely with that frame it’s a Mj door but very highly unlikely that the frames off square due to the way they are made. When you say off square are you talking about being 90’ to the threshold on the in out section or square from the threshold looking in from face. Or is it just the margin between the door and frame is not parallel?
