The setting of the rod into the plastic clip is critical. You can test it with the door open by using a metal rod (screwdriver or sinilar) on the catch, to simulate the door closing (it's quite stiff to press and snaps shut so watch your fingers). The door catch can be opened by moving the lever that the rod (shown with a 4 on the pics) attaches to via the white plastic clip. If you mark the projection of the threaded part through the rod with a felt tip, you can adjust up and down until you get it spot on. A small mirror and a torch is handy for seeing the rod.
