I have a question about Viv locks.
I have the new style Vivexotic viv and have put it all together. The gap between the glass doors is tiny and it is a really tight fit for the lock, to the point that it is very hard to slide the doors open when you remove the actual lock part, as the metal strip that the lock slides on too pushes against the 'front' glass panel. My worry is that the glass will crack due to the constant pressure from the lock over time. Can anyone alleviate my fears? Are they always so tightly fitting?

Thanks

Just installed new lock... a vast improvement on the plastic stopper.
