Hi there, I'm needing some advice on how I go about raising my composite doors which are scraping along the tiles. I've tried turning all screws in the pictures both clockwise and anticlockwise with no success. I've read online that you should turn clockwise to raise the door. The middle one might be for moving the door from left to right however I wasn't having success with the top screws so thought it was worth a try. Using a 5mm allen key

I've read that article. Honestly it doesn't help because it says to adjust the screw from underneath the hinge but as you can see from this picture it's not adjustable

Looks like a Mila Evolution hinge, I don't believe these are height adjustable only sideways with an allen key in that hole, to get some height try winding the top hinge away from the lock side and the bottom towards the lock side, this in turn ever so slightly lifts the door but keep an eye out on your gaps

Thanks for the reply. The door has dropped over time because how heavy the doors are, will they need completely re-fitted to lift them?

When you say try winding the top hinge do you mean the screw at the top of the hinge (i.e. the ones in this photo)

Thank you gentlemen. I've managed to raise the door by following the instructions in the manual. There was no indication of the door manufacturer on the door itself so I was at a loss. It's still scraping a small bit but much better now.
