[DML] Re: Door Alignment

["Dave Swingle" <swingle_dmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1. You can't. Having the torsion bar in changes the "shape" of the 
door. 

2. My favorite trick is to align the door with the striker pins out 
such that the door fits in the hole. Then put the pins in and align 
them to the door. This takes longer than it sounds like it should. 

Some doors just are not straight and will never align. Especially if 
the skin is shifting on the frame.
