Re: EagleChief's 1971 Build Thread
Door latch question - My driver door does not always fully catch on the striker plate. The latch on the door side, seems as if the mechanism is worn out or loose. It will close tight, but only if I hold the door shut when I close it, if that makes sense. When I shut the door, I have to keep pressure on it for it to actually lock in place. If I don't, the door will stay closed, but be loose where it feels like it wants to open.
Do you guys know if that is an adjustment, or is it just worn out and needs to be replaced. I seem some replacements on PartsGeek, Classic Industries, etc. going for $30-$50. Any recommendations?
I'm replacing the door locks this weekend, so I'll be inside the door already. Thanks to LockDoc for the replacements!!
