I have a 2021 lynx. I believe the door is sagging because it’s really hard to lock the deadbolt. I can lock it from the inside if I pull up on the door pretty hard, my wife can’t do it. From the outside it’s impossible to lock.
Anyone have a solution?
TIA!

Don, call Marty. There’s a good chance you got a door that was misaligned from the Lippert (?) factory. My Cougar was one, and it took moving the hinges a small amount.

I was able to lower the strike plate by drilling a couple new holes.
 
I just had to replace my hinge on my flatbed but I think ATC and FWC all use the same hinges; the Lippert hinges. You can get them on amazon. I ordered the "knock offs" and the Lippert and the knock offs are going back.


It's pretty easy to replace them albeit that the holes were slightly off on the screen door and the 3rd hole on the main door. I'm not sure why they "rivet" them on, screws would be so nice. Took about 1.5-2hrs to replace one hinge. The lower hinge now has all screws.

IIRC, the doors come assembled with door, screen door and frame as a package. I believe both companies now use Lippert.
