how do you fix a upvc door that has dropped?

Adjusting the hinges is not the answer. The door needs heeling and toeing. Which means the glass needs repacking, it is the same principle as a 5 bar gate. If you only adjust the hinges the door is still at an angle thus will be straining the hinges. This door needs urgent attention as by having to force the handle up to lock the door something will break and turn a simple job into an expensive one. Call an expert in. But be wary, don't get conned by someone just adjusting the hinges. This is not the answer.
