Hi, I don't know how it happened but the bail lever on my Rittreck 5x7 is blocking the ground glass door.

Please help

A more detailed description would help. I’m not at home near my Rittreck, but is it possible the bail closed the wrong direction?

it looks like I suggested--the bail is trying to rest on the wrong side, it should rest on the left. The tip of the bail, top and bottom slides along a metal strip and should stop at a little round nub. It sounds like it has passed the nub and is on the wrong side of it.

Thank you. I just forced it back. I have no idea what flipped it.

It needs to be resized smaller - try 1000 pixels on the long edge - and in a compressed format like jpeg.
