Look closely at both sides and compare the safety bars and also look at the ends of the head where the doors are attached. Something is most likely bent and is preventing full closure of the doors. If you can determine what exactly is "out of whack" you can bend it back into position. Perhaps you could post several close up pictures from every angle with doors closed and open. I may be able to spot the bad point for you.

anyone interested in trying to fix it for me
PM sent!
Sometimes the TTO knob starts to pull away from the shaft, leaving the doors free to flop around and respond only somewhat to the knob. Try this: Open the razor fully. Put a small block of wood on the table, no more than an inch wide, narrow enough to fit between the open doors of the razor head. Then invert the razor and position the shaft bar in the razor's "mouth" on the wood so that the shaft bar is resting on it but the doors are not resting on anything. Then press hard down on the bottom of the TTO knob (i.e., press it along the axis towards the top of the razor). If I'm right, you'll hear and/or feel a "pop" as the knob slips back onto the worm gear. After that it should work normally.

dont think that worked, the main problem i see is after the razor is closed and you tight the knob all the way the door opens back up just a bit
I've got a couple of razors that do that. From what I can work out, it's the edge of the guard plate pushing up on the inside of the back of the doors, forcing them open a bit.
No idea how to fix and some just come that way. It could be the the doors are bent inwards near the middle, or that the arms that the doors hinge on are bent down.
