Also, if it actually is aligned and that doesn't help (it's a little hard for me to see in this pic) it could just be gunky in the back of the assembly. If that is the case spraying an oil like Ballistol in the cracks and wiggling it may help. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone [S] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) Nice one thanks 😊 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Did the wiggle work? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone [S] 3 points 1 year ago No the tldr is I definitely need to replace the latch. One screw is totally stuck but some builders opposite are hopefully going to come and loosen it for me. Then I'm determined to replace the latch myself. permalink fedilink source parent
