1st : buy the proper new striker from The Classic Center or find one in a junkyard, it'll prolly fail in a year or two but if' you're broke do what you have to do .

I adjust these by lightly setting the screws then sitting on a milk crate and peering in the gap as I *almost* close the door and then adjust so the pointed spear bit enters the round hole bit dead center ~ then you tighten up two screws diagonally and see if the door closes O.K. .

If so, tighten the other screws really well and you're good to go .

Some times it takes me three or five tries before I get it Just So so don't panic or have a spazz, just keep at it .

The proper closing doors is a delight and well worth the effort .
