That handle does look like it's out of line with the door. Maybe just the angle the photo was taken.
I think that is just the angle. The insulation strip on the edge of the door could that be protruding somewhere stopping you from fully closing the door? I did think this but when closing (trying gently or firmly) it tends to make something of a 'clang'. Guess it could be that the insulation strip is pushing the metal into the wrong place? |

Haha, no worries. It's a pretty niche and ridiculous problem as far as they go....! Seems like perhaps it's similar to when a door isn't quite properly aligned on it's hinges and therefore catches? Will have a fiddle and hopefully resolve it one way or another.... |

Confirmed not the insulation seal as I have removed that and it's still 'clanging' at the same point and only shutting to the same degree.

It does sound like the hinges may be the problem. Other than the normal door swing movement is there any movement up or down? |

I am Edward Gascoigne. And I am a man who fixed wood burners. * DISCLAIMER, it's still not sitting properly on the hinges but having taken the insulation strip out and refitted it, and then twatted the door as hard as I could, I've managed to get the thing shut. * Thank you thread  |

If you are having a problem with the door on the woodburner, have you checked if the front door of your house is currently locked? Worked for me with something similar.   |

Absolutely essential option to have in the repertoire. My internal monologue tends to run in the following order... a) Can I fix it by hitting it gently? b) If a gentle tap no good, search for a youtube/forum based suggestion. c) If the above doesn't see it fixed, ascertain timescale/cost for someone to come and fix it. d) If the answer to the above question is unacceptable, hit it a lot harder than in part (a). |

Merry Xmas all
I got some meadowhall (big shopping centre here) vouchers for crimbo. Was thinking of buying myself a basic toolkit.
Not looking for anything major, but wondering what everyone thought were the absolute essential tools for handmen like me?
I'm guessing my local hardware store would be cheaper than the majors like B&Q?
