How lucky am I to have you guys on my side!!! If the community does not see a problem with elongating the hinge slot a little more, then I will proceed with elongation. The rest of the door seems to fit just fine. As I mentioned proviously, it really only takes the slightest finger touch to make it close al the way. That is why I THINK when the door is heavier, the little bit of spring tension won't matter... unless I am in for another suprise when we get to alll the rubber that surrounds the door.
