Anyone know how to adjust the bay window door on the Osburn 1800 insert? Mine is one week old and I just noticed that when I close the door it rubs on the catch by about 1/32inch or less. I have to use a slight upward pressure on the door in order for the latch to clear the catch so the door closes without it rubbing on the catch. Not sure why this is happening, perhaps after firing it all week it is broken in now. I see the hinge bolts and it looks simple to do but I'm hoping someone has already done it may be able to clue me in on a way to keep it simple. Can I loosen the bottom hinge only, to adjust the door up or do I need to loosen both hinges?
