Any Double Glazed Door Experts around?

The door has slipped down and is rubbing the at the bottom.

It has three hinges as per the pic. I need to move the door up but a bit confused as to which allum screws to turn and which way. The main ones are top and bottom and I assume the ones on the side are locking ones?

Any help much appreciated.

@Rat is your man for this I think.

I don't udually get involved with locks, hinges etc tbh as they can be a pain
It could be that the glass needs toe and heeling
If you take off the top bead and see if there are any blocks (handle side) and they are packed tight
If not you need to pack as many blocks/packers in as you can by lifting the door against the glass be careful not to break glass of course
Search YouTube for toe and heel a door

I'm probably a bit late here, as Rat suggests Toe and Heel if you know how, you should actually remove the glass and start again with the packers. I'm not sure about that door but it looks as if it has adjustment, below each hinge (the silver bit sticking out the bottom) should be an allen key adjustment, loosen the allen grub screws on the side of the hinge first if I'm correct you should be able to adjust the height with those.

Exactly what I ended up doing as I could not get the beads off and I though I might end up smashing the glass. Same adjustment to all three hinges and t appears to have cured the problem.

Thanks for posting.
