Sticking front door

We have a 5 year old double glazed, multipoint locking front door.
When it is warm/sun is on the door - it appears to swell slightly - causing problems closing it properly (the "fingers" catch on the frame.
I feel that, we should contact the fitters (still in existance) - to ask them to sort it out.
My wife thinks that if they simply adjust it - when it cools down, in the winter - it will leak.
Any advice welcome......

A two minute job.
Clicky:
To adjust hinges is an easy job which can be carried out by almost anyone. In most cases all that is needed is a set of Allen keys & a screwdriver
No doubt there'll be some videos on youtube0
