My dad has replaced the door seal on the conservatory door now the hinge has dropped and door lock not locking. Any ideas? He has tried looking on line how to get to the mounting screws to adjust the hinge but can't find anything.

The hinge adjustment is through that hole you can see on the hinge. BUT that hinge should not be at an angle like that! That looks like, possibly , the screws that hold the hinge to the door are loose. Try and lift the door sash , it should straighten that hinge but you will need to getcthe hinge cover off to see why its tilting like that

I think the inner part of the front face knocks inwards and detaches. The reason the hinge is leaning over is the honge pin has already been jacked up, look under the pin and you should see an allen key hole, this is just a bolt that screws up and pushes that black plug up thus lifting the door, unfortunately the doors need toe and heeling properly now, this means lowering the hinge pin down but the then lifting the doors via the proper method of toe and heeling, hinge adjustments are designed for minor tweaks after settlement say a millimetre or 2
