I"ve got a Dixie 501 with a t handle lock that is not pulling the door closed tightly. It appears to have either a broken or unconnected clip near the inner spring closest to the plug lock. Can anyone walk me through a repair? thanks.

Sounds like the e-clip grove is worn out. You will need a new t-bolt or stack 2 or 3 e-clips in the groove. Just a thought.
