Default Door latch problem

When it fails use glue with the matchsticks next time.

Hi, all OP again. My internet connection went out, so did not get to
check this until after I went back...My mom, of all people suggested
wooden matchsticks in the holes.

So, I ground off a small amount of the striker plate thing, the part
when a piece folds into the hole itself, stuck matchsticks in and
tightened it down. May not be Bob Villa approved, but it worked.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
