Title: Adjust/align basement doors
Post by: BobW on March 30, 2025, 08:12:35 am
I have two basement compartment doors that do not click closed even with the "Foretravel bump".  Are there any adjustments that can be made to these latches/latch pins so they seal completely?

Thanks

Both parts have a little adjustment. On the pin you can unscrew a little,  then slide in or our. Latch on door can slide left and right.

You might try moving the two small L brackets, or the latch that contacts it that are located on the floor of the basement just behind the seal or the latch at each lower corner of the door.  Sometimes it takes adjustment of more than one component but with patience, they can be adjusted to operate smoothly with out the need for the bump (but it never hurts).  When you "bump", the click you hear is the latches at lower corners of the door that are latching.

I'd check your bulkheads if those all of a sudden aren't lining up
