UPVC Front Door - Not locking properly

I have what I guess is a standard uPVC door. The "lift handle to lock" type (if you see what I mean).

When the door is just pushed closed you need a key to open from the outside but just pushing the handle down from the inside opens it.

The problem I have is that in this "pushed to" position, a fairly gentle tap to the door is enough to srping it open.

I am assuming there is some adjustment I can make to have it catch properly and wondered whether anyone could advise.

There are allen key adjusters in the hinges (at least I assume they are adfusters) if that's any help.

Thanks in advance

Try adjusting your latch keep (on the frame, not the door) up or down - it sounds like it isn't latching correctly.
 
Thanks for the tip but it seems to be OK.
Any other ideas?
