you can use somethin else like a few rounds of electrical tape,,, it probly will shut,,, i did this for a while.. (a few years).. untill... it stopped shutting even with the tape on.. In this case im sure its the locking mechanism thingy the problem now.. wd40 will help too.. If the door doesnt align properly.. it doesnt help either...

The locking mech probably needs freeing off if the door wont shut properly. You could repair the original striker with some plastic tube

what does 'freeing off' mean?

I find sometimes if it doesnt shut after about 3 attempts of slamming lol... if sometimes i push the lock down, the door shuts which is strange. Doesnt work all the time.. why?

if not,, i get it,, open the window fully, try to shut,, then pull door hard to shut lol

im just after the part number if there is one for the new bits, used tape before, and the door shut, and never opened again:scared:, had to grind it off:laugh:, door pins anyone?

Slightly off topic but I've spent a few Saturdays now trying to get my door hinges out,they are the barrel type and have had no luck, has any one tried a hydraulic jack to get them out before as this is what I'm going to try at the weekend
