The door mounts with screws at the bottom.  I don't remember what kind of adjustment they have.  I have added washers to make a door line up.  The latch is adjustable, but I think that just controls how tightly the door closes.

Here is his quote. I fully agree, putting a washer under those bolts lined up one of mine perfectly. The trick is to find a door that is still straight at the top, which some of mine are warped and curved. As long as it is straight or you manage to straighten it, then the washers should make up the difference from there.
