Good Tug required to open drivers door

landowner · Dec 26, 2009

Dicovery needs a good tug on handle to open door.
My Rangie was like this on all four doors but never got round to looking at it.
Any idea if adjustment will fix it please.

you can adjust the latch pin and change the shims behind the hinges. remove one from top and place it behind bottom hinge to lift the door.

Is that what causes it?
I thought it was wear in the handle bit

I'll have a go at adjusting the catch and see what happens.
Thank you.

depends It can be the handles but the door can sag as well try opening the door and lifting it to see if there's any movement in it. and check the latch pin for signs of wear on the top of it

with some good advice from here i sorted my passenger door.
it was the pin on the door pillar needed a slight adjustment.

Have you tried cleaning then re-greasing all the moving parts in the door that open the door? Door's were stiff to open on our's a quick clean up and re-greased worked a treat.
