Yes, a fairly easy fix but fiddly and needs a half day. I think its mentioned in the US build manual, if not someone here posted up the procedure.

yes in the manual.... the hinges themselves are adjustable up and down and in and out.

Be aware though that sometimes the door drops due to the door itself cracking... this needs to be checked as if this is the case you need to repair it prior to any hinge adjustments
