Every so often, the aluminium door on our garden office keeps refusing to lock when shut, which I think is due to it being misaligned (the key locks no bother when the door is open) It'll lock only if I shoulder the door inwards while turning the key.
It has butt hinges with an Allen key on the top and bottom. I think the top one adjusts vertical alignment, the bottom one does the horizontal. But can I get it lined up properly? No. Whatever adjustment I do, it seems to either have no effect or then suddenly make it considerably worse. The top of the door perhaps might be a bit warped? It leans out a few mm until you lift the handle and the latches engage. Is there anything I can do about that? Seems like no amount of hinge adjustment would correct that, so is it just a shit door?
