Dropped UPVC kitchen door?

My UPVC kitchen door has dropped/expands in the sun. Have tried to adjust the door frame using allan key and loosening/tightening screw fixings on the door frame but to no avail. Any ideas what to do next?

uPVC doors can be very temperature dependant. Fixing a dropped one can be as simple as turning the screws (though it sounds like you've tried that already) right up to as hard as stripping the door down and re-building it from the frame up.

The procedure most likely required is called a "toe and heel". Any good locksmith who knows his uPVC should be able to assist.

tell me what sort of hinges are on the door, flag or butt hinges (flag hinges are in the shape of a flag, butt hinges are straight)
