How can I Close gap in uPVC front door?

I used some draught seal self adhesive foam strip - seals gaps from 1mm - 4mm. This does the trick and although the door needs an extra push to latch it closed, it has sealed the draughts.

Thanks Both. Its not a noticable gap. Its just the door needs to be tighter up against the rubber seal. there is a slight draught. Whats 'the keeper'?

you can also try adjusting the top hinge there are alan key screws at the side of , and bottom of the hinge.
the bottom alan screw makes the door rise and the side adjusting screw makes the door go left and right .It may need to move to the left to cover the gap you are seeing .
also adjusting the keeper inwards will pull the door tighter to the rubber seal.

The door latch plate and the roller cams are adjustable.
The latch plate can be moved in to tighten the latching action. If you look at it you will see.
The roller cams should have an Allen key socket in the centre. These are offset spindles for the rollers. Turning with an allen key will move the roller in or out slightly. Each roller should have a mark on the edge of the roller to allow you to move each roller and get them to line up exactly with the frame.
When you get the rollers correct, adjust the latching action so the rollers just slide in.
