Introduction
Having a door that won’t latch completely can be a great annoyance if it is an interior door (such as a bedroom or bathroom door) and can lead to a lack of privacy. If it’s an exterior door it presents the problem of security as well, because if a door doesn’t “click” shut it obviously can’t be locked. An exterior door that won’t latch can also drive up energy costs for heating or cooling due to the weather stripping on the door not being able to form a tight seal with the door.
In this guide, you will learn how to fix a door that won’t latch in just a few minutes using relatively inexpensive tools.
Conclusion
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Once the fix has been verified and the door shuts correctly, you’re all set! Over time this problem might pop up again if the door hinges continue to sag, and if that continues to happen then the only correct solution is to rehang the door. Failure to do this will eventually lead to a door that scrapes across the floor when it is opened or closed.
