mis-aligned. id start by trying to adjust them. remember that the latch should light up with the center of the striker plate & not cause the door to move up or down. You may have to make the mounting holes bigger to allow for adjustment.
I should have said the gaps are good when closed, but that’s probably because it’s moving the door up when hitting the latch. I thought I could just close the door, loosen the bolts on the door then it would go into place since it was there in the latch, but doesn’t seem to do that. Is there an article or write up in the door adjustments?
