Not being able to close the door on new gaskets is very common. A lot of people have to reset the door latches a bit looser (for a while) with new gaskets until they take a set. Also be sure to v notch the joint where the two ends meet at the bottom. This lets the air out of the gasket so it can compress/collapse correctly.
