I kinda feel like a red headed step child here, another problem.
This one is not so major:
Last night I slammed the door, too hard I guess, as our door latches easy with Bert's door pin. Now it will not latch. There are 2 half moons,in the door, that grab the pin and lock to keep it latched. Those half moons are not holding. If I pull it shut and lock it the top half moon latches and therefore so does the bottom one, and the door stays shut. I plan to take it apart today to see what is broken. Has anyone had this experience before? What am I going to find? I have only had this apart once and that was 4 years ago.
Bob and Jeff made it home safely from our work day yesterday. Great couple of guys. Our first meeting with Jeff.

I believe we keep a set here if you might need it.
It has all the modifications done to it per Jim B.

""Thanks Jim and Jeff. I just shot some silicon lube on the springs and the latch is working. In fact, better than before. So, I will not open it up for surgery just yet.

You know what's so funny--yesterday when I closed your door for the first time, I thought "darn that door is sweet". Mine is noisy and takes a good slam. BTW another really neat idea is to find a way to drive each others coaches. Most of us have only driven one. I immediately noticed how different your's was than mine--not good or bad--just different.

Bob, Our door has always closed very nicely since we installed Bert Curtis' door pin. In fact, I got the first one that he built while I was mooching free rent from him a couple years back. Bert is a fine fella and if you have no fear of heights I invite you to go visit him for a week or two.
