shown in Illustration 181.
3. Set screws at one end of Strap.
4. Block the Door open at the Lock and strain it in at the
bottom. While pressure is on, set the screws at the other
end, slanting the screws so as to draw the Strap tightly.
5. Replace Trim Pad.

To correct:
Turn the Door Stiffener Rod Nut clockwise to tighten the
