We had a delivery this morning and (our fault) I can't now close our front door properly. The door will close with a heavy push on to the latch, but the handle will not turn up to lock. Turns out a shoe had fallen behind the door next to the bottom hinge and it has somehow pushed the hinges out of alignment when the door has pressed against it. I am guessing there may even be a bent pin in the hinges?

The problem is that on the closing side, the door is too far in to the frame, tilting away towards the outside of the house and at the bottom it is too far out from the frame, tilting towards me, by around 10mm.

I have removed the covers to and used allen keys to try adjusting the height adjusters and the two horizontal adjusters, but nothing seems to make any difference to the actual tilt of the door? Is there anything I can do other than call in professionals?
