If they are too low just open them, grab them at the bottom and pull up sharply a few times.

If the above does not work you may need new hinge pins.

i doubt he needs new hinge pins, just remove your arch to get the the hinge bolts, loosen them (MAKE SURE THE DOOR IS SHUT!!!), lift the door up a little by the handle to where its meant to sit, and while your lifting it tighten how ever many bolts you can...its easier if you get someone to hold the door up or tighten the bolts for you
