Update: I'm a tired frustrated ham fisted idiot. What was happening was I ever so slightly bent the metal when popping the old plastic lid lock out and thus the new one could not fully disengage. Some pliers and cussing and it works.
I am attaching the couple videos that helped me get the thing done in case anyone finds this in the future and is lost and confused as I was at first.

My door lock on my new to machine gave out. Ordered a replacement and installed. Neither the new striker nor the old striker work well with it. It will lock but won't unlock. Is there anything g wrong with putting the striker in the mechanism and leaving the door open?

For what its worth, that paper is referring to injuries to children using a style of machine that hasn't been sold in the US since 1983. But point taken.
