sliding door

[OLIVE-BAY]

my sliding door slides well and catches open fine, but when closed the final pull up of the handle that pulls the back of the door tight does not happen. its a 68 bay....any thoughts? as its peeing me off a bit.

Hi Darren,

I think it might be the top cable that might need adjusting slightly shorter.

Thanks for that rob I've just adjusted it full it's slightly better as the door now pulls in but it doesn't click so as soon as I let go if the handle it pops back out

is it a cable or rod? if its a rod then you can put a kink in it to 'make it shorter' in effect.if its a cable,is there any way of putting small washers somewhere at the end`to affect it? sorry I'm a bit vague,just going off memory. :roll:

It's a rod so I'll go and try putting a kink in it now
Thanks again
