The bottom had the nut outside the door giving the hardware more clearance from the door. After a measurement of the distance between the swing arms to verify it would fit, I turned the top hardware around to match the bottom and actually flipped the door, top to bottom & outside to inside, to put the damaged piece inside the bathroom. FYI ... the door knob is centered top to bottom, so a flipperoo is easy. This was an aesthetic preference on my part to keep the undamaged, "nice", side of the door on the outside of the bathroom. That maneuver requires rotating the door latch hardware, but not a big deal.


It has been reinstalled. After one adjustment to the hardware placement on the top pivot point of the door to improve clearances, it's working better than when we took delivery. We'll see if rattling down the road on our next trip changes that any, but I'm hoping that all the screws and glue does something to keep it working good for a long time.
Will you post some pictures of the changes you mentioned?
