Hello there - I've a 4-hinge uPVC door that is catching the frame towards the top of the doorway and needs adjustment.

I'm after some advice on how the hinges actually adjust though - it's not obvious to me and I've searched this forum and the interwebs on general for similar, but cant seem to find any info on them.

Have attached a few pics of the hinge for reference. They seem to have a black pin running through them with a hollow bottom (not Allen key-shaped) and an indicator line at the top.

Can anyone help out? Cheers!

The only adjustment I can see is with the two little holes, they're either grub screws to stop the pins falling out OR they adjust the pins back and forth laterally for sideways movement, other than that a rather basic hinge.
