How do you tighten doors?

I know there is a way to adjust how tightly doors are shut. At the moment they are not as tight whilst shut and therefore they rattle a bit

Hey Pj,

there's 2 possible reasons I can think of why they're not super tight.

One is that they are and your seals have had it... new seals required

Two is that either the door hook or the latch on which the hook grabs on to are worn and may need to be replaced with newer fatter ones. It could also be the spring that tells the hook to close more has had it and may need a new spring. Shouldn't be a hard job at all if you can get the parts and know how to use a spanner and some paint (to paint over the nuts again).

Hope this helps,

Loz

I found the striker plates on my 90 series were loose - the doors weren't closing flush. Once retightened (need those annoying security star screw jiggers...) all was well. Hopefully it's as simple on yours.

The strikers usually have a bit of play in them so you can adjust that. Just loosen move it in a little and tighten.
