Hi
After ten years of use my door checks are no longer holding my doors open.
Has anybody had this issue and how did they resolve it?
Many thanks

I've used a set of water pump pliers. Put a chunk of rubber on the jaws to protect the metal and then squeezed the two sides of the door checks together.

You can replace the clear tube that the bolt passes through
