Re: Door wont close

It sounds like the hinges need new pins and bushings. Open the door and grab the outside lower edge and pick up on it and see how much play you have in the hinges.

Re: Door wont close

yup that or may just need to bring the pin out a bit
seen it where ppl will move the pin in to help it catch but it makes it worse
try changing the pin from another door(less used)
