Write your comments here...yes they are fine , navigator seals around the edge all seems fine to , the large front locker where the gas bottles goes is a long black bar with little notches out of it works as it should when key in and locker open as soon
as you shut it and try to lock it the problems start ,0 -
EasyT , I notice you have your naughty hat on
my excuse is I have been multi tasking 
cooking
tea, filling dishwasher, putting ironing away , laying table ect , but of course only wimmin are capable of this
Right O k it's my nieces caravan it's an Adria Adora DP 612 2012 just bought it for seasonal pitch , ( must say great van) it's 3 lockers 2 normal and the front locker the keys fit perfect can't see a problem with seals I managed
to shut and lock 1 after 5 attempts , someone mentioned maybe the van is not level or hasn't been stored level and they have warped slightly
it's anyone's guess why can't everything
be perfect like me

I have an Adria Adiva 2007 and locks were temperamental when I first purchased. Doors were fine - seals were fine - so if in doubt get WD40 out!!
Using the red tube that comes with the can - squeeze it into the lock barrels - sorted all my locks out including one I was going to condemn.
Worth a try.

My Coachman front locker is exactly the same. But on each occasion it works when I gently push the locker cover in freeing the mechanism, which obviously fouls on the rubber seal. I know that you say that you have tried that, but I suggest that you try doing it again!

Wimmin don't need excuses Ruby ........ we fellas make allowances
I have had to adjust the lock on front locker of van but really have no idea as to the mechanism on the Adria. I hope somebody can cast light.

Write your comments here...I expect we will sort it between them and us eventually tigerifish , but so hit and miss trying does get you hot under the collar, there's no damage to door , seal or even the locks , dam gremlins are at it I think

be perfect like meRubes I met a couple last year on a CL who had an Adria and they were having problems closing a locker on the offside front. The end result was the lock broke and we had to tape the door up so they could get home. Don't know if this indicates a problem
with some Adrias?0 -
I had the same problem on a elddis with the battery locker, when I turned it when the locker was open everything seemed fine but when I held the actual bit that locks inside & turned the key that bit didn't move as the nut that holds it was loose so when
locker was shut the same was happening & as you said it would lock after numerous attempts or on the first attempt, now nuts all tightened that sorted the problem0 -
If "things" have been going out of allignment for a while there will probably be signs of wear such as shiney bits on the lock bar or the striker plate. A carefull look in low light using a good torch might show them up and indicate where the pressure needs
to be applied to sort it out.0
