How do I adjust my upvc door hinges?

Our upvc external door has developed a minor problem. When the door is being closed the bottom roller is 'catching' the metal work fitted to the door frame.
This has now caused a small amount of wear on the door frames metal work and I would like to adjust the hinges fitted to the door to rectify the problem.
Any advice would be appreciated.

The door is a half glazed unit with 3 hinges possibly 'Mila', a 'Mila' handle and key lock and a 'Lockmaster' 2 roller mechanism

Ken. If the door is only catching in this one point, move the keep down slightly - its by far the easiest solution. Just remove the 1 or 2 screws and move down by 3~4 mm. It will still engage when the handle is lifted. Kev@klplastics
