Help adjusting UPVC door (PICS)

My UPVC door is just catching on the locking mechanism in the frame (circled above).

Where should I be adjusting to correct this?

    Try tightening the hinges, particularly the top hinge.

    look on the other side of the door, what closes in here ,the lock is it an allen key bolt, if so you can adjust these they are like an oval and move up down, in or out as you turn them

  • on opposite side of door there are hinges most likely three: top, middle, bottom. there is plastic cover on top of each hinge. take it off and use metric allen keys to tighten the top one only. door should close like a dream.

    The other posters are correct, Your hinges should have metal caps over them, click them open with a small flathead screwdriver then use an allen key to adjust as needed. A 5 minute job. If you don't feel confident doing it then call the company that installed it to put it right, after all what are guarantees for :)
