THOR #2983
I have been studying the door lock on my 2015 Hurricane. The way Thor installed the door there is about a 1/8 to 3/16 inch wider gap between the door and the frame at the latch than at the top and bottom. As a result the latch bolt doesn’t engage the plate very deeply. It jiggles out during travel, leaving the deadbolt to hold the door shut...not a satisfactory situation.

I think that the solution will be to unscrew the latch side of the door frame, put some shims behind it, and screw it back down drilling new holes in the frame.

If anybody has seen this before or has a better idea for a fix, I’d sure like to hear from them. Thanks!
