IS THERE ANY ADJUSTMENT TO THE DOOR LATCHES?
IN ORDER TO CLOSE COMPLETELY I HAVE TO (SQUESE) THE LATCH TOGETHER.
THE DOORS DO A GREAT JOB PROTECTING THE LEGS.
THANKS

Hi.
Just to make sure. You do know its a double latch. A general shut will only catch the first lock. It takes a good shut to engage the second.
So.. don't be afraid and shut it hard.

Could this be what you are talking about?

Also if you have the netting too tight on the door it will pull the door out of alignment with the latch, making the latch not catch or at least hard to latch, depending on how tight the netting is. I took the net off for a while and when I put it back on I got it too tight, threw the door latch way off, backed off o the front adjustment on the netting and all was OK again. If you adjust the netting with the door open you can get it way too tight.

I sprayed Remington dry lube in mine and the emergency brake mechanism and both work smoother now. I didn't want to use something oily to collect dust.
