- 2. Tighten screws: Tighten any loose screws securing the latch or strike.
- 3. Adjust strike position: Loosen the strike screws slightly and adjust its position so the latch engages firmly when the door is closed.
- 4. Replace worn parts: If the latch or strike is visibly worn or cracked, replace the door lock / latch assembly.
