> I, too, have a bay-door that recently will no-longer open. It's the most forward, street-side and it "appears" it's the latch mechanism that's simply not releasing. Anyone who has come up with a method for opening a reluctant single-latch (bottom-center) is solicited! Thanks!

Chad,

Don't know if this will help.

Unlocking Stuck Bay Door Lock

This is a Hoot! The article in Barry's Link is by Dave and Barb Jenkins. We bought their Foretravel and the same door is stuck. Should I ask them if they guarantee their work? ;o)

best, paul

Unlocking Stuck Bay Door Lock

Thanks (again) Barry! - I've been poking and prodding but no success yet; it appears it will be necessary to pull-out the rubber-seal on the bottom of the door to be able to actuate the center-bottom locking system from outside/below. I have a roll of the seal-material, courtesy of James Stallings, so replacing it isn't an issue. This experience motivates me to "insure" the other doors that cannot be accessed by crawling-across the basement are adjusted correctly and are mechanically sound.

Since the subject is door alignment, my doors don't line up when they are all up. When latched down they are off a bit as well.  Has anyone taken the time to align all of the doors? Any knowledge you could pass on would be great. All the doors open and close fine, just don't perfectly line up.
Thx!
