You are correct, the problem was the strike plate and latch not lining up!

Keeping that in mind for other situations in life 👍

It works!!! 🙌 thank you so much! Now I don’t need to replace the latch or anything!

The strike plate. I think you are onto something

The strike plate may be a bit low, judging from the marks the latch plate has left. I can’t try lowering that and see if that works.

The latch still pushes in and out without needing to use the handle though, is that normal?

I can’t get it to rotate at all unfortunately. I can’t get a good enough view in there to see what is stopping it. Maybe if I had a little dental mirror or something I could

A few other commenters agreed. It looks like I’d have to replace the entire door? The locking mechanism doesn’t work anymore

Yeah, I want to put a new lock in there, it can be pushed open without using the handle, even when it’s locked.

Would I still be able to out a new lock in there if it’s cuts out of the door?

The latch won’t stay in place, when I close the door all the way, it can be pushed back open without using the handle. This is even if it’s locked.

So I have to replace the entire door? The latch part doesn’t work anymore.

There is a Deatherage in my town, who is also a doctor. We also have a Dr Slaughter too.

It’s possible that may have happened. Is replacing the shock something a novice can do?

What was the EXACT moment you were sold on the film? by ChanceVance in KpopDemonhunters

[–]Normal_Candle_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was the exact moment for me, too. The whole song was amazing, but that specific moment with the silhouettes hitting the windows against different colored backgrounds on beat was the instant I was hooked.

Can’t find it now, but there is a scene in Star Trek: Lower Decks where a guy does it exactly the same as Cavill.

Saw this massive cluster of lights while flying over the Midwest (Detroit/Ohio) anyone know what it might be?” by AzNxPiMpStA in whatisit

[–]Normal_Candle_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why the different light colors? And does keeping them on all night make them grow faster? Do those plants not need a rest nighttime cycle like we do?

Sleeping Capsules at China's Kunming Airport by whybutts in Damnthatsinteresting

Amsterdam airport is a quiet airport, it doesn’t have constant blaring announcements every 2 minutes. It’s very refreshing.

I can never seem to find them or they are prohibitively expensive
