Adjust your existing knob, lever, or handleset strike plate. Latch engagement into the strike is the main 
component used for door alignment.
To adjust knob / lever / handleset strike plate:
1.  Remove plate from door frame with a hand screwdriver. Note: Using an electric driver may strip 
screw heads or enlarge screw holes.
2.  Locate tab on strike plate. Bend the tab towards surface of strike. Note: A small change may be all 
that is required.
3.  Reinstall strike plate using a screwdriver and test again.
4.  If door cannot be adjusted sufficiently with strike tab, both knob/lever/handleset latch and deadbolt 
could require adjustment – we suggest you contact a local locksmith for assistance.
