Vendo 63 door adjustment

[jenkine]

The door that opens to load the machine has a larger gap at the top than at the bottom when it is closed.  I noticed this when I bought it.  I noticed there was a slight adjustment on the door latch....Is there any way to adjust this with the hinges, etc.  The door makes a nice seal at the bottom but could be tighter at the top.....Thanks.

I actually just found this about 30 minutes ago. Thinking about trying it on my machines. http://www.vendoco.com/Documents/Slant%20shelve.pdf

here's a cut out my copy of my V63 manual...

So you are adjusting the latch.. I thought in the manual it had something on the hinge?

I saw the latch instuctions in there too. I wish that Vendo had more manuals like that one. Would be way more helpful than the one I got for my machine. Just a parts book for the version that is newer than mine.

Another thing it might be is the actual latch handle. I adjusted the handle on my machine today and that fixed it.

I don't see the latches in my manual. & looking at a few V63's in my storage unit, I don't see any way to adjust them at all, ( they are fixed in place) I have had to replace the bottom door pivot/socket  on many machines as they tend to wear & crack & then the door will start to "bow-out" at the bottom.

If you need to remove the main door off of a Vendo square cornered V56/81/63/90/126 etc. be darn careful when you remove the top pivot not to let the doors top "tip" or you will crack the bottom pivot socket every time. ( it's only cast zinc)
