Hi guys, my front (4 hinged) UPVC door will not close. The bottom of the handle side is sticking out slightly and the locking mecagnisum will not engage. I have no idea how to adjust the hinges to correct. Could someone please take a look at the below photos and let me know what adjustment to make?

There is a top bottom and two side caps for the adjustments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do not fancy leaving it open all night. :(

Plenty of videos on YT to take you through adjustments
 
Hi there and thank you for your reply. I always check on youtube prior to posting on this forum.

I watched some videos, however, was unable to make the correct adjustments and wondered if someone skilled in the trade could share any pointers, after seeing my images.

I’ve had to take the morning off work to try and resolve :(
 
It could be your door sash is warped. Might be worth trying to adjust where the door lock catches on the frame keeps.

Thanks mate. I had a guy look at it this morning. It was the hinges had dropped. They have a cam type system in them that is prone to come out of place.
