Hello,

I've been reading a lot of forums/guides on how to raise a "drooped" front uPVC door but my door doesn't seem to have the adjustments.
Basic problem is to lock the door you need to pull upwards really hard on the handle to engage the multi point locking system so the key turns.
I know its dropped a bit because a. you can see it, b. if you put a wedge under the door to raise it a fraction the door locks fine.

I have tried adjusting the screws on the inside of the door but it doesn't seem to have helped - think these only move the door away or towards the frame? I need the raise the hinges I believe.

I have attached pictures here that show all the different parts of the hinges. Most guides seem to suggest there should be an adjustment in the top/bottom of the hinge, but mine only has a rounded bolt through it.

Can anyone help?
