Question:

Door catches at top right side away from hinge side.
What adjustment is required.

Answer:

Try withdrawing the screws of the top hinge plate a quarter of an inch and placing two layers of shoebox cardboard under the plate before turing the screws back in. If it needs more, you may need to add more cardboard but if its much more, you may have to slip the hinge pins and actually plane off an appropriate amount from the top of the door.
