Need to try and spray some dry lube on the striker to get an idea where the latch on the door is making contact. The dry lube is simply a marking compound at this point and might help with the reopening of the door. I would guess you need to remove shims to center the striker on the door latch. Once you've fitted the door in the opening, how the door closes and latches is in adjusting the striker...Hope this helps
