Does anyone know if the flat door (the one used for diving) has the same problem that water drops stick to it like in the normal round door?

In my experience using it above the surface after a dive i have not had a problem with water drop affected pictures.

i didn't have any problems with it. i don't recall drops sticking to either, but i only dove with the flat one. it worked great for me.

Sounds like the seal was somehow defective or broken. Have used mine multiple times and depths without it ever taking on water. Removal likely to make situation worse and result in loss of buoyancy.

I don't really know, but a coworker of mine had that problem. He thinks it was because after his shower he would shake it from an end to get water drops off. I haven't had any problem with mine and I have worn it pretty much constantly for 8 months now.

Hi K.,Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked.I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated.I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft.However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.)CheersCam

Our refrig is heavy enough so it does not move when using the door. Also it is on vinyl tile over concrete so tile is slightly indented from refrig weight. This tends to keep it from moving.

Yes, usually one of the plastic hook shaped clips on the underside of the door gets bent or pushed in. You have to pull the door off again and bend the hook back out. It needs to clear the hole it slides into before pushing the door on. It isn't designed very well, but it works if you're careful.

I haven't had the problem. It dripped slightly when first installed, but I hand-tightened it some more and it has been absolutely fine for the past 60 days.

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.

It did well underwater. Even the video did good. There are two doors on the battery compartment. I made sure that I closed them individually so that I knew they were both locked in place. Some people have complained about leaks and I'm suspecting that not getting the inner door locked in may be what causes it. I can't prove it though. I should add we only used it in pool water so it was pretty clear not sure how it would do in murkier water

Yes, I was swimming with it for hours at the beach. Just make sure all three seals are fastened tightly, they are like ziplocks. I crashed in the waves and not one drop of water.

It is definately not waterproof. There are holes around the bolts that can be caulked or siliconed to prevent water. But there is no gasket on the door.

There are clear plastic pieces that you cut to fit around the hinges and they close up to the wall and act like a squeegee sealing up the side and across the bottom. The door closes on an L shape clear plastic. It works well and looks nice. No water leakage so far...it's been in since July this year.

I have not had any problem with anything splashing through the center hole. It's only an inch in diameter, so no issues.

Yes, there is a round foam anchor that you hang over the top of the the door that when shoot will not give way. It also will stay put when not in use and the door is open do to the foamed anchor and the weight of the straps (which is light weight) holding it down.

you must simply twist it. the plunging will happen naturally. be careful when cleaning and taking it apart as the seal has proven to be a bit fragile.

Mine does that too. It hasn't caused any problems though; no splattering or loss of heat. I was considering finding a way to put a gasket on, but it truly does work fine being a bit wobbly.
