Blaze King latch replacement?

[PipNH]

I've had a used Blaze King Princess for a couple of years and have never been able to get the door as tight as I want it. I've replaced the gasket and tightened the nut on the catch as far as it will go, and the door still fails the dollar bill test. The latch has a groove in it, which I always assumed it was supposed to have. Not I'm not so sure. Any thoughts?

That’s a wear mark, not like that from the factory.

My latch has that groove too. Let’s talk about your adjustment procedure. The outside nut is just a locknut. There is an inner nut too, older inner nuts are welded so you have to spin the catch in or out a full turn and then tighten the outer locknut. Newer stoves have inner and outer nuts free so you can adjust both.

In any case, just tightening the outside nut doesn’t do anything.
