Sliding door takes some shutting

[Andy_sheff]

I have to slide it pretty hard and often help it on the other side of the door, is there some soft of spring that assists it to close that may need replacing ?

rollers worn, plastic guide block worn possibly

mine was really hard to shut which I thought was the new seal I had installed but I adjusted the position of the catch and it shuts like a dream now.

Ahh cool, Ile try doing some adjustments and see what that does, then Ile look at rollers, although it slides nice so not sure it could be that, seems to be the last bit it just doesn't pull in flush easily

You do lift the handle up when you shut it to don't you? And not just slam it? This brings the back of the door in and locks it on to the rear latch :msn4:

Yeah I do lift the handle but still, it takes a slam to get it to that point !
