Broken Toes - Quadrafire Topaz

[Matt_F]

I have a Quadrafire Topaz with the fancy cast iron doors. I have installed it exactly like the manual directs, and everything seems to be lined up, EXCEPT the piece doesn't lock in the front. So when some kid runs through the room, the front totters and then crashes to the floor.

Does anyone out there have experience with these and know what I am doing wrong?

Did you secure it with the thumbscrew under the ash lip?

Yes. The thumbscrew holds the bottom in place pretty good, but when the top slips forward, the leverage bends the bolt and eventually slides out, and I've cranked it down pretty tight.
