My TM 2720 is now a year old. The outside latch to the door has always been sufficiently tight that I don't think a 5 year old would be able to turn. I don't think my mother, with her arthritis, could turn it either. If it were very much tighter I would need to use pliers.
My stove top has the star locks on the rear two legs only. The front two legs rest inside of rubber grommets. I can lift the front just enough to get my hand inside to wipe it clean after spills. My plan is to completely remove the grate once a year for some serious scrubbing, whether it needs it or not. I can also clean under the top at that time. Some spills manage to get past the top cover.
According to my dealer I was missing the front two star locks. However, I like it the way it is. Perhaps there was a change in the stove and they only have two star locks now instead of the previous four.
