(Home) Sliding door contact plates

hi.does anyone have any tips for aligning my sliding door contact plates(the central locking contacts on the door itself and the pillar that it shuts against)?i am trying to sort my central locking,and found that the contacts on the door had seized-they are spring-loaded-i then found that they are poorly aligned due to the door dropping slightly when nearly shut.i adjusted the contacts on both door and pillar as much as they would go,then loosened the bolts at the bottom of door at front where it bolts to slider,and lifted the door,hopefully into a better position.only thing is,it`s harder to shut than before now!!it needs two pairs of hands,i guess,but does anyone have any advice as to the best sequence to get everything aligned?thanks .jamie
