Our creaking conservatory that probably dates back to the 1980s is getting some much needed TLC.

I am struggling to open or close a door as it is dragging at the bottom. I thought I would try and adjust the hinges, but I am stumped already.

I pulled the cap off the hinge (it turned to dust and will not be going back on!) expecting to see a place for an Allen key, but no.

On the inside of the hinge IS a tiny Allen screw adjuster but I cannot see how that could adjust height/drop.

Any ideas please, assuming this is actually adjustable. Thanks.

The adjustment is on the door itself - behind that "flap" where the hinge attaches to the door. Take that off (looks like it goes up or down), and there will likely be adjustment screws behind there.

The whole bottom edge or just the far corner?

Thank you. It looks like it does go up or down. Not sure how to budge it. May be a plastic trim tool?

Well, definitely the bottom. Furthest from the hinge. There is a metal plate in the door frame that appears to be just catching it.
