Gold Fat Boy problem

I have a gold fat boy, my favorite razor. As I close the doors, they appear to be on an angle. When I lock them down, it seems to go away, but am concerned that something is bent & will get worse. Anyone know what I can do to fix?
 
Sounds like it's been dropped at some point.
It could be the blade tray being bent, or a bend somewhere along that spindle inside or notched blade bar thingy. Those two are connected near the top with two little indentations that look a bit like rivets. Careful bending might realign them once you find out what's bent.
There are guides to disassembling a fatboy here if you search for them. Removing the bottom nut or compressed fitting is the first step and then the doors should come right out. You shouldn't have to disassemble any further.
Those little rivet things are not indestructible. Too much pressure and they can split apart (happened to a red tip I had). Just be careful whatever you do.
