I'm doing final adjustments on my doors and wondered what the consensus is on how how much force the doors should take to latch? Without the seals installed, should extending/retracting the pins be relatively easy, a little stiff, or...?
I think the answer is that the mechanical latch (the two pins and the center latch) should be relatively easy to engage/disengage. Mechanically, mine are smooth, but get very tight on the last 45* of engagement. It feels like I'm fighting a couple of points on the cabin flanges where I need to relieve another 1/16" or so.
