What I do is take the cold chisel and put it flat against the inside of the
striker plate and tap the chisel away from the door jam.

OK, thanks, probably a dumb question, but do you wrap on the flat part of the
striker plate, or hit the edge so that the latch can enngage?

.Some times it just takes a sharp rap on the striker plate. I use a steel
chisel for this purpose.

. Hi:
.
. I have a couple doors that don't latch unless you really slam 'em, and was
wondering if any of you had ideas for remedying this. The house is old, so I
imagine settling has caused at least some of the problem. Any thoughts will be
welcome.
