Upvc door hinges replacement

We have a fairly old upvc porch and the door is playing up and not locking on hot days. We've had a locksmith out to adjust the hinges a couple of times, and he said that they are at the limit of their adjustment now. I'm wondering if there is anything more we can do - could we get the hinges replaced or the door rehung or something like that? Any advice gratefully received!

    The hinges get worn overtime, yes you can replace with new

    Your problem is thermal expansion of the door not the hinges.
    Re-hanging wont make any difference either.

    What's the door colour?
