By adjust if you mean to equalize the gap around the door to frame. Hinges can be shimmed with cardboard, like from a tablet back, to close gaps and open gaps.

Imagine the middle hinge as a fulcrum, if there is a gap on the bottom latch side and the door is rubbing on the top hinge side, move the bottom closer to the frame with shims between the hinge and frame, which will pull the top towards the jamb.

Be sure all the hinge screws are tight and the frame is still plumb and level.

If the latch and strike plate do not match up, this may help that as well. Simply filing/Dremmel the strike plate slightly larger to fine tune.
