I need to adjust the depth the door closes. Where can I get a socket to fit this? (Don't forget - I'm in Canada...)


Thanks!

I have found many special tools in the auto section of Canadian tire. Normally there is a special display in the auto section of the store and the tools are made by Powerbuilt. I think the bit you need is called a triple square bit. Of course also on Ebay...

It is called a triple square or "cheesehead" tool. Most auto parts stores will have a selection of the cheaper quality bits which are fine for that. If you want high quality (which you usually do with a triple square as they strip easily), then snap on, mac, etc
