Door Clicking - Problem Found
Had been hearing the door make a light click when closing from fully open for a few months now... since I couldn't see the hinge when it happened I couldn't really identify where it was coming from.
Then I tried to go for lunch this afternoon, heard a very loud click, and discovered I couldn't close my door
I've never actually seen one of these foul up before, there's a thicker steel bracket inside which looks fine (seems to be attached to that part of the door skin) but the skin itself has torn. What's weird is that they broke inwards, as opposed to outwards (as I would expect if you threw your door open a lot... which I don't) So when trying to close the door, it tips and the plastic arm jams - disconnecting it fixed the issue, but now I have to "fix" it somehow. Might just put on wider washers...
