You may have to re arc the door. Take a close look at the door when closed and while closing. If the hinge side of the door is in the same plane and arc as the body when closed but the handle edge is not, the door can be bent by shimming the closing side with wood under the area that is too far in then applying inward pressure to the other. If the door is too close to center line at either hinge routing the mounting hole in the door to a slight oval will give some in out adjustment.
