The strike plate does NOT appear worn. It is mounted firmly in the

catch the bolt [or whatever its name] forcing the door tighter.
However, that tab appears to be for a different function than to
provide an 'adjustment' It appearsto be part of the stable mounting
for the strike plate.


No it is for an adjustment, as I mentioned in my first reply. It has
nothing to do with "stable mounting".

You didn't even try, did you?

Will try now that EVERYBODY seems to be bashing me about the head and
shoulders for NOT trying.

What's in the video?
