lokaway gun safe door catching

[scarter]

Just moved my lolaway 4dk to my new house from being in my previous house 3 years or more. We handled it very carefully in the move and hasn’t been damaged at all.The door is now catching at the bottom as you shut it. Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so is there any adjustment?
Many thanks

Possibly out of plumb / true ?
Though I am not familiar with this make of cabinet.

Is it bolted to the floor , if two bolts , slackening one side may help

Just to the wall I’ve sat it on a wooden frame to get above the skirting board

Sounds as if the cabinet is distorted & the frame is not true so the door is catching - could be due to wall not being true or bolts being slightly 'off square' - try slackening off all the bolts & see if the door shuts without catching, if it does then you may need do a bit of packing or juggle the order in which bolts are tightened.

I scrapped a brand spanking new one on fitting it to the wall, things are very easily distorted on this make, wouldn't have one again.

Behind the door on the right as you look at it there is a bolt with a rubber stopper. Check that sounds like it's moved.

Mine does it ever so slightly - worse when it was tightened up to the wall as I guess the wall is slightly out of plumb. Still works fine though and only brushes a bottom corner.

I had that on mine, the floor wasnt b level and it distorted the frame

Put a tape corner to corner (how you square up any frame)

Personally (being an x panel beater) I would put a small ratchet strap on the long side give it a couple of clicks and nip up the bolts.
But that is me....I made an extra 3mm door that goes over my std door with x2 5 lever locks right the way through..

Its twisted, try undoing the top wall bolt on the hinged side and tapping a wedge down, should stop the door from binding.

People need to think out of the box as the farmers Dad had not noticed the low bollard....Wife home in 4 days lol

As a few have said, wall it is fixed to will not be true.

Or as I was taught as a lad in the workshop making doors, windows and stairs. If your bench was "out of wynd" ie not flat and level your, assembled joinery would be the same.

Small wedge or packed behind whatever corner is required and job done.
