I’ve got a Blaze King Sirocco 25 insert. Im having a bunch of issues with my door and handle. In order to keep my door from sagging I’ve gotta tighten the hinge pins pretty tight but then the stove gets hot and the metal expands and the door won’t open past 1/4 open. So I loosen the hinge pins then the door sags and when I latch the door close with the stupidly designed latch system it forces the top right corner of the door down and I don’t get a good seal. Please help. I’ve attached a photo of the door and latch. Really wish I would’ve gone with the Princess.
