Well my door now closes and latches almost perfectly. It has a little bit of a catch when you close it but the house is probably over 60 years old and I suspect the door is just as old as the house so I won't complain. I had to file the top of the door which took probably an hour and then I had to take off the striker plate from the door jam and do a little chissleing. I had to make a second adjustment because the first time I moved the striker plate I did not go far enough. Since the wood is old even though it is in good condition I put some screws in the plate that had to bee at least 2 inches long. Over kill you say? Well that plate is not going any where real soon.
