If so, tighten the other screws really well and you're good to go .

Some times it takes me three or five tries before I get it Just So so don't panic or have a spazz, just keep at it .

The proper closing doors is a delight and well worth the effort .
That’s what I’ve been doing with this one, I figured it was because it was a Cheap POS.

I will buy the good one, thanks for the info.
