Door does not close or latch properly; may pop open slightly during cooking.

Safety: Ensure the smoker is cool before adjusting the door.

Steps:

• Inspect door hinges for looseness. Tighten hinge screws on both the door and cabinet side.
• Check the latch and strike plate alignment. Adjust the strike plate position so the latch engages fully when closed.
• If the latch spring is weak and does not hold tension, replace the latch assembly.
• For minor door warping, gently bend the door frame by hand to improve contact with the gasket.

Note: A properly closing door is essential for maintaining temperature and smoke levels.
