Hello,

New poster here. Good to meet you.

We have a Napoleon S9. I have only had this stove since acquiring our house in January and we are planning to burn in earnest this coming season. I went through everything (replaced some bricks, and did the dollar test on the door which had a large gap). I decided to replace the gasket (1/2" per Napoleon specs), but I am still having trouble getting the door fully tight all around. There is nothing in the manual regarding any kind of latch adjustments. Is it possible that the latch has worn down and that is preventing me from closing it tightly? Am I missing anything here? Any S9 owners, I'd love any suggestions.

Thank you!
