[DML] Re: door seal

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is very likely that the anchor pins that the door locks close on
were adjusted to the old, worn door seals. With the new seals the pins
must be readjusted. It is not too hard to do but if you don't have a
lot of experience it could take a while of trial-and-error. Take the
round rubber grommets off and you will see that you can put a wrench
on the pin to loosen it so you can reposition it. The pin should go
right into the center of the door lock without banging on the guides.
Both pins must hit the first locking position at the same time.
Remember that the door closes in an arc. For the first time you try
this you will find it easier if you remove one of the pins and adjust
the other  pin first and then reinstall the one you removed and adjust
it to the first one. In some cases you must file away some of the
fiberglass to get a little more adjustment room for the pin.
