Safety first: Switch off power before adjusting the latch.

  • Inspect latch and strike: Check the metal latch on the door and the strike on the cabinet for damage or misalignment.
  • Adjust strike: Loosen the screws holding the strike and adjust its position so the latch engages firmly when the door is closed.
  • Tighten screws: Ensure all door and hinge screws are tight.
  • Replace latch: If the latch is worn or broken, replace the door lock assembly.
