The 'E' Type Forum

Hi All,
I think I have a problem with my door locks.
The " tooth wheel" move a lot. ( Thanks Chris for the photo )

So when I close the door, the seal push and the door isn't in line with the body.
I remember there is somebody who restore his door lock but I didn't find the link.
Any ideas ?
thanks
Mich

Hi Mitch,
I thought the same on mine, but I am fairly certain this is normal.
I did read somewhere that this was the case, but I cannot find it now.

Counter intuitively, if you move the striker outwards slightly the 'tooth wheel' may be able to lock, when it may have been between locking positions before.

This link may be of some use in adjusting your doors:

Hi Paul,

I read and read and read...(English isn't my first language...) your link and into the KB " door fitting guide1 and 2"
and my doors are ok now.
I noticed that the difference between correct and nearly perfect is about 1 hours for each door !

Thanks
Mich
