Have a standard door leading out to the garage, the door is latching but the lock is not locking.
I think there is a misalignment with the strike plate, and had to pull the door inwards in order to lock it previously but it wasn't smooth. Now it got to the point where I can't even lock it but I can still close the door fine.
Wondering if adjusting the strike plate position will help bringing the door inwards?
Appreciate any advice on this matter, thanks in advance.
Hello @aton5
Thanks for sharing your question about your door not locking. Would it be possible for you to post a few photos of your entire door with the door frame included. This will give our members a chance to assess the doors condition and the way it is currently sitting on the frame. There are number of possible reasons your door is not closing properly. It can range from misalignment, loose hinges, moisture contamination and latch misalignment.
Can you also please tell us if the side of your door has any dragging scratches or that you feel that the door is catching on the frame itself. Any extra information you can share with us will be very much appreciated.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
