I have a front door that is touching the frame where I'm pointing with the screwdriver...
How can I make it tilt less?

I have tried loosening all 4 screws and tried adjusting the adjustment screws but they were completely stuck.
 
  • A screwdriver pointing at a door frame where it touches the door, indicating alignment issues.
  • Close-up of a door hinge with visible screws, some of which have been adjusted. The hinge is attached to a white door frame.

Are there any frame screws on the frame? There are usually plastic cover caps that conceal these. If so, try to adjust the hinge side of the frame using the top two screws. These can be adjusted with a T-key or a frame socket.

It's not the screws you should focus on! The hinges need to be aligned slightly, the important thing is to get a suitable hinge adjuster for your specific hinges. The method is to remove the door leaf and initially adjust the upper hinge and the middle one slightly, it's enough to adjust the part that belongs to the frame. Make very small adjustments and test in between. It's normal for hinges to wear on heavier door leaves.

By adjusting the top two frame screws (The ones behind the plastic caps in the frame) on the hinge side, you will solve the problem.
You need a T-key or a frame key and a screwdriver.
 
Yes, there is!

Should I screw them in or out on the hinge side?

The door was installed 2 months ago so there's probably no wear, it just might have settled a bit :-)

The frame should be moved out towards the wall and not in towards the door. I believe this means counterclockwise on the screws.

Use the side of the shelf with the big hole so you don't unscrew the screw but just adjust the frame.
