Help needed: uPVC Door hinge adjustment

[scatchymonkey]

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!

Unfortunately I don't think those can be adjusted.. @crank39 will know for sure.

Failing that you may be able to toe and heel the door to lose the gap, plenty of videos on the likes of youtube

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.

Yeah those two threaded holes are a mystery. There are no grub screws in any of the hinges (or in another similar door) so not sure what their purpose is. Will need to call a man out to assess I think.
Thank you for the responses.

How old is the door, judging by the squared off style of the hinge and the lack of adjustment I'd say it's not a modern door hinge, from my experience that's a hinge I'd expect to see in a 30 year old door. Most modern hinges are adjustable in at least 2D, the better ones in 3D
