It sounds like it might not be aligned properly, if you lift it up slightly as you close it, it should hopefully close.

Before slamming the door the hinge in the middle take it off. This happened to my old hdi. I had no tools with me at the time and just had to slam the door. The hinge snapped and dinted my door.

Just dont keep slamming it over and over again! This was a problem on my 1.4 when i broke it after i removed the checkstraps and moved the door hinges. Doesnt sound like the same problem though!

It had froze solid i didnt have any de icer so used the next best thing........ A blow torch lmao

Still needs propely sortin tho as the key is a pain to turn in the lock.

A bit of wd40 should sort that out spray it in the lock and work it in.

When i get some time will blast the lock with wd40

It's pretty common for this to happen, it had me scratching my head the first time it happened on mine....glad you got it sorted mate

[puglove]

Lol. I thought that would of been obvious in this weather

306s are a bit of a pig for this. Water must get down to the lock easily.
