Adjust Strike Plate Position

If tightening hinges doesn't work, the strike plate might be misaligned. Close the door slowly and observe where the latch bolt hits the strike plate (too high, too low, too far in/out). Loosen the strike plate screws. Shift the plate slightly in the needed direction (you might need to file the opening slightly larger). Retighten the screws once the latch engages smoothly.
