How can I realign my double PVC doors?

My PVC conservatory doors do not close on a warm day. The RHS door doess not appear to be square to the frame and looks as if it needs lifting slightly on the inner side.

Thank you so much for your help. By adjusting the hinges the left hand door now closes without catching on the centre upright. The RHS door also looks level now. The only problem now is that the RHS door leans away from the frame slightly, ie there is a narrow gap when closed as I can see daylight when the doors are closed. Any ideas?

Two ways to adjust a door.
1/ If there are large flag style hinges these are adjustable three ways, usualy with a 3 or 4 mm allen key.
Dependant on the hinge turn the allen key and watch to see if the door moves the way you want.
If the door moves the wrong way then turn screw back and try again. The screw you require is normally set into the hinge and is altered with the allen key horizontally.
2/
The other way is to repack the door using pvc packers.
This does involve a higher level of skill.
I have an explanation and instructions on pdf so if you send an email i will willingly send to yourself.
Thanks Cavan
