Door Striker Adjustment
Make sure the door latches securely without slamming it. If necessary, adjust the striker (A): The striker nuts are fixed, but the striker can be adjusted slightly up or down, and in or out.
1. | Loosen the screws (B), then insert a shop towel (C) between the body and striker.
|
2. | Lightly tighten the screws.
|
3. | Wrap the striker with a shop towel, then adjust the striker by tapping it with a plastic hammer (D). Do not tap the striker too hard.
|
4. | Loosen the screws, and remove the shop towel.
|
5. | Lightly tighten the screws.
|
6. | Hold the outer handle out, and push the door against the body to be sure the striker allows a flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the screws and recheck.
