Hi, I've just fitted a new UPVC door to my garage and had a bit of struggle getting it to close nice. i have since read a few topics on toe and heeling?, (wish I'd known about this before I started!) But if i can help I dont want to take the glass back out.
I have already fitted the glass and dont think theres anything to far out with the frame or door,but it just needs lifting about 5/10mm on the lock side as the multi lock part doesn't line up very well.
Ive attatched some pictures of the hinges as I'm not to sure if these are ajustable or not and was hoping some one may have a better idea. Sorry if they are not great quality.
Any advice much appreciated!

5/10mm is quite a lot really to make up on the hinge so ideally it should be done via toeing and heeling but.........

I've seen these hinges before but never fiddled with them but at first glance i'd say you need to wind down those 2 allen headed bolts, it looks like the whole hinge slides up or down, the big allen bolt (hinge pin) just moves the door closer to or further from the frame
 
Thanks for the above advice, I finally took the plunge and took the glass and bottom panel out and set it up useing the Toeing and heeling method,or at least my own novice variation. But it all went ok and now the door shuts nice. I would however advise anyone who is a novice like myself to leave it to the professionals as I've spent way to much time playing around with this door!
