I got round to looking at the hinges this morning. I removed the plastic caps from the bottom two of the three hinges and this is what I have. The first image is the top of the bottom hinge and the second is the bottom of the middle hinge. (I couldn't see enough to get the camera below the...

You're right. I put some sellotape over the striking plate for the bottom roller, closed the door and locked it. When I opened the door, the sellotape hadn't been depressed so clearly the roller isn't reaching the plate. I checked with a spirit level. The frame is pretty vertical, the edge of...

Thanks guys. There was about two millimetres clearance on the lock striker plate attachment slots so I pushed the plate outwards and retightened. I rotated the cams on the latch levers 180 degrees (I assume the centrepunched mark indicates the cam lobe) and now the top half of the door down to...

Thanks for all your useful and helpful replies guys. However the problem has now been solved. The man from the shop actually phoned me just before lunch, said he couldn't get hold of the plumber (I couldn't either this morning when I did my usual phone-in before 10am) and said he'd come...
