Re: door hard to close

The tubing is 1/2". Go to a plumbing supply store and tell them you only need a tiny piece and they might let you cut it and take it for nothing, which is what the guy at Ace Hardware did for me. You'll need a piece 3/4" long per striker. Slit it down the middle, gently spread it open, and push it onto the striker. No glue...just arrange the slit so it is facing away from the door. I have read about this a while back and decided to try it. No more slamming the doors now. Only color around here is white, red, blue, and yellow. Sure bets replacing the striker. If this doesn't do you any good, then there is other problems, like the pins or hinges.
