Door Lock Clip

My door lock clip keeps falling off... Was curious if anyone else has this issue?

My thoughts are just get a couple dabs of silicon to help give it more of a semi permanent hold or order a new clip...with the risk of it sliding out...

Thoughts?

Re: Door Lock Clip

Probably just need a bit more bend in the clip itself as that is what creates the pressure to hold it in place. I would grab it with some pliers and bend it some with needle nose pliers.

Re: Door Lock Clip

Thanks guys. I have bent it to make it seem more likely to hold, but the metal is pretty soft... So it doesn't hold that well... Anyway... I think I might try a spot of silicon to see of that works.
