Warped overhead locker doors

Thanks Commeyras, I’ve not done anything more and await your update with interest - thanks for coming back to me.

I've done architectural joinery and cabinet work for nearly 40 years. If a door or panel has twisted significantly then removing it and weighing it down with weights will have no long term effect.

If you can alter the tension it is under in situ by using different stays or struts then this is your best option and the one I would go with, unless new doors are available.

Thanks Colin, I’ve swapped all the gas struts for weaker ones. I’ve not tried straightening yet so thanks for your advice. Replacement doors are expensive so I’ll see how I go with the weaker struts. 

Hi we are experiencing the same problem with our 2019 Bailey Autograph 79-4T.  We reported it under warranty early in 2020 and are still waiting for Bailey to supply the parts for the warranty work to be done!!!  Their service is awful, they of course blame lockdown and brexit, but its been almost 2 years now.

Have you contacted Bailey direct? 

We have found if you go through your dealer  very often they hope you will just get fed up and not keep making the have to do some after sales backup

Hi The Perry's, mine is a 2017 model, so out of warranty. I've replaced the gas struts with less powerful ones, 180nm to 150nm. It seemed to occur during this spring summer. I'll just have to live with it, new locker doors are expensive. Thanks.

It really is disgraceful that neither the manufacturers, the dealers or the suppliers of the locker doors want to take any responsibility for the problem, or offer any assistance, bearing in mind that the van is only 4 years old.  It certainly discourages me from buying anything from Bailey if I want in future, to trade in my M/H for a more modern one.
