I moved to a house a year ago with a Lopi Answer-95. The door wasn't closing completely, so I moved the washers to the outside of the latch as prescribed in the manual and replaced the gasket. That worked well enough for a short while, but now it's loose again. Here are some pictures:

It looks like the gaskets on the front and back of the glass are too thick, which is causing the metal bezel on the inside of the glass to be pushed out too far into the firebox, moving the latch in as well. Should I just take it apart and replace these gaskets with smaller ones? Do I have this diagnosis right?
