Re: [T3] Door Not Closing

["Gary Gamboa" <gary_gamboa@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Okay, I pulled the door latch mechanism out and it turns out the spring
did fall off an was nearby. I put the spring back on and put the latch back 
in.
But the same thing happened. I took it out again and realized that the
release shaft (horseshoe) does not fit tightly enough in the rectangluar
opening of the plate that the spring is attached to.

Any ideas?


Thank you,

Gary Gamboa
