Good evening,
the latch of the front door in our new build often does not engage properly if the door is not closed with force.
Do we need to adjust the strike plate differently or does the door need to be readjusted elsewhere?
Here is a photo of the strike plate. There is an adjustable part and a crosswise non-adjustable part with a recess. When we move the adjustable part, the latch no longer engages at the deepest point of the recess of the fixed part. Is that a problem?
