The striker should look like the image below "IMAGE 1" and the sound of the door should be very close to the original sound it make with the factory door hinges.

During the Vertical Doors, Inc. installation you will need to remove the factory door hinges.
Before removing the factory hinges you MUST mark the factory location of the door on the vertical and horizontal planes.
Also mark and measure the distance between the apron and the edge of the door by the top and bottom hinge.

How to repair Brocken Zerk fitting (Grease Fittings)
The grease fittings are press in or what they call drive type. We have a special tool we use to put them in but you can also just tap them in with a hammer. Depending on the location of the one that broke you may be able to just drive the new one behind the old one and not have to worry about getting it out. They are very susceptible to shearing from a side load, so you do need to be careful with them. I recommend using a quick release coupler where you can push a lever to release it rather than having to pull on it, or you can use a needle attachment and go right in the center. You can drill it out and tap it to use the screw in kind.
