Re: Door hitting latch

if the gaps out side of the door are good, I would think the latch and striker plate are
mis-aligned. id start by trying to adjust them. remember that the latch should light up with the center of the striker plate & not cause the door to move up or down. You may have to make the mounting holes bigger to allow for adjustment.
