Had a front door fitted about a year ago, and all is fine with the door, no sticking or catching, however I have noticed that there is a small gap between the hinge side of the door and the frame and therefore I can feel a draft between the door and frame down the hinge side.

So... How do I adjust the hinges so the door closes snug against the frame?

Here is a picture of one of the hinges....

In your second picture it shows the hinge from underneath, it shows an allen key fitting, now take a look at the hinge from above, there may be a cap there, if so just remove and hopefully there will be allen key fitting there too, this is the hinge pin and is located eccentrically, turn this to bring the door tighter against the frame.

Here is what i mean, just click on the middle picture.......

Yeah there is a little white plastic cap on the top of the hinge, I'll give it ago this weekend.
