# Door Latch Not Catching in Fountain Inn, SC

Door will not stay shut in Fountain Inn? Often the latch and strike plate have drifted out of line as the house settles or the weather changes. Small fixes usually solve it.

- Look for scratch marks on the strike plate to see where the latch is hitting.
- Tighten loose hinge screws; a sagging door is a common cause.
- Slightly widening the strike plate opening can let the latch catch again.
- If the latch is worn or sticks inside the door, a locksmith can repair or replace it.
