This has probably been addressed on the forum before, and it may be a no brainer to some, but...

is this familiar to anyone?
SLAM, SLAM...adjust, tweak, new pins, adjust...SLAM, SLAM..."Mother Pus Bucket!!!"

Yes, I am talking about how super annoying the doors on our squares can be...well, there is a very simple fix...a 3/4" piece of PEX...yep, PEX...cut a piece off, cut it down the side and slap it on your striker...your door will close smooth as butter...seriousy, it's that simple....

When new, these strikers have a plastic bushing on them which helps lock the door latch in place...
