you need to put a wheelbolt in the bottom door hinge and close the door slowly but firmly. if you go too far put the bolt in the top hinge to bring the door down again.
its a bit scary to start with but you soon get the feel for how much pressure to apply and then its sweet. ;D

ps put your sig pic address like this

in your signature, change the () either side of img for [] as i had to use these to show you the layout and it will work? ;D

As for the handle, is it just stiff when you press the trigger?  Take the handle off and chuck a load of grease all over the moving parts should loosen it all up nicely!

If you like I can get a new door handle from my local scrapper for you, its dead easy to switch the lock over too.
