01/11/2022 Q: How to know if the Door Lock Striker needs to be adjusted?
A:
You need to make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the striker adjustment, close the door onto the striker and note if the door drags on the striker causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with the striker, and also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch. Then you can use a soft marker to mark around the striker for reference of the original position and loosen the striker, then move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper door position within the door opening, start with the up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening and set the in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are correct.
