Complaint:

The door holder of the front hinged door is broken.

The front hinged door cannot be opened or closed. The door holder makes a lot of noise.

Cause:

The door holder/ door check of the front hinged door is broken at the mounting brackets.

Remedy:

The defective door holder must be replaced with a new door holder.

The door holder can be reinforced with gusset plates to prevent repeat damage.

Proceed as follows:

^ The web dimensions of the gusset plate are approx. 17 x 17 mm (panel thickness: 1-1.5 mm). The square plate must be divided diagonally into

two triangles.

^ In the area of the weld seam, the zinc coating on the door holder must be removed.

^ In addition, the two attachment plates of the door holder must be aligned level with the attachment surface.

^ The gusset plates must be welded on with a tacked seam (see attachment). The component must be checked for welding distortion and realigned

if necessary.

^ The welds must be smoothened.

^ The welded area must be coated with zinc dust paint.

^ Check the mechanical components for ease of movement.
