A:  Hi and thanks for your question. Based on your description, it appears that the ball catch is threading upward over a period of use to cause the door to jam and be 'stuck'. Best recommendation is that a 'threadlock' adhesive such as Loctite that is available at your local Home Depot store location be utilzed to hold catch in place once adjusted properly, to then eliminate the up-threading movement.
