Removing the rubber bands doesn't help. The bands are not the worst
problem, it's the size of the standard bush which creates the tension.
I've tried to replace it with standard pin, but the bands were
constantly falling off. I've got now an idea and replaced the 1x1 brick
above the locked bush with 1x1 round brick - it seems that the groove
around the round brick's base helps a bit. It also seems that the
'groove' which guides the top of the doors is one plate higher than
needed, I'll try to fix that in the next version. I'm also planning to
make the doors 2 studs higher, I want them to be doors in fire station's
garage for the new fire engine.
Thanks,
