I have the opposite problem. My lock tab doesn't move up high enough to
contact the latch. If I loosen the rear hold-down piece (that screws into
the door) and move it away from the door, the tab moves up nicely----but
then, the hold-down piece sits away from the door noticable. Fortunately,
my door snaps together very well w/o the tab locking but I'd like to get it
working as it should.
