Door does not stay closed
Adjust the position of the strike plate or the Tip-On mechanism slightly. Ensure the magnet has sufficient strength for the door's weight and size. Check if the door is binding.
Mechanism feels stiff or noisy
Check for any obstructions or debris around the mechanism. Ensure the door is not warped and moves freely on its hinges. The integrated adjustment might need fine-tuning.
