Subject:Re: Adjusting Sliding Door
From:OlRivrRat <OlRivrRat@COMCAST.NET>

There is only 1 Latch & it is on the Rear,,, There is a Retainer on

the Front which appears to be just a safety catch to help prevent the

Front of the slider from opening in an accident,,, The Front adjustment

is done via the LBracket that You already have been adjusting ~~
