Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool before adjusting the door.

Inspect latch and strike: Check for visible bending or wear. Replace any deformed latch or strike components.
Tighten hinges: Use a screwdriver to snug hinge screws on both the door and cabinet.
Adjust alignment: Gently adjust the door position so it closes evenly against the gasket. Avoid excessive force that could warp the door further.
Test seal: Close the door and tug gently; it should remain firmly closed without play.

Smoker door will not latch securely or pops open slightly during cooking.
