My locks would only partially engage after I replaced my weatherstripping. If I pushed in on the door lightly(from the outside) ... I could lock it with the key. Adjusted the striker plate out a hair. Fine now.

Yes, that usually works, and sometimes after a while you can adjust them back in a little.
