IIRC the BAE146 airframe can distort slightly to the extent where the door can’t be closed until the wind speed dies down
...or if the aircraft is parked on slightly sloping ground, as I saw once on an RAF VC10 at Brize. Main deck cargo door wouldn't lock closed so some jumping up and down on the port wingtip did the trick.
