From memory - it is a case of slackening them off a bit first, one is LH thread and the other is RH thread (I think).

[Araon]

[robins]

Yes it should be easy to be honest.

The door should shut, not slam, handle should lift up, nearly till vertical and that pulls the back of the door in and locks over the latch and locks the latch at the front of the door.

If the handle doesn't move that much, then its either the back latch in too far that the latch on the door can't reach it without slamming the door. Or it could be the latch at the front of the door not allowing both the pins from the door latch to lock in together properly.


I hope my ramblings make sence.


Good luck

If the catch on the B post is badly set up then this can effct it badly.

Try marking then removing it and see if the problem goes when it does. Then its just a case of spacing it up and adjusting it properly.

Other things like poor quality door seals can have huge effects too

Good luck
