  2. Tap on the striker with a plastic hammer to adjust the striker. The striker will not move much, but will give some adjustment.
  3. Hold the outer handle out, and push the door against the body to be sure the striker allows a flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the screws and recheck.
