I've had a look through the forum, but I can't find this one. As you will see in the picture I bought a tool that I thought would be correct to adjust the front door but it is too small. Any ideas what I need to buy to slot into this type of hinge?

I`m no expert, but I think all you need is an allen key to fit the side and maybe bottom of the hinge to adjust the door.

I don`t think the top of the hinge in the pic has anything to do with it.
 
Good idea, but I've checked that and it's the same from underneath. Weird one this.
 
Open the door and look at the back of the hinge, you'll probably see two allen key holes, turn these one way or the other to the desired side, one bit at a time

There are two holes (see picture) but I've tried all allen keys and no luck. They seem to show a thread?

Looks like grub screws in those holes, you're trying like a 1 or 2mm allen key or something? Got a good close up pic of one of those holes?
 
Here's a close up. Thanks for the help.

Edited: sorry missed some of the posts
Loosen those 2 little grub screws a little, and then see if the door can be shuffled up a bit.
