When a door and lock are installed in a doorframe for the first time, they will be straight and aligned if the installation was done correctly. The bolt of the lock will go into the strike plate of the frame without any problems.
However, the alignment of the bolt and strike plate does not stay the same forever. The weight of the door will cause a shift in the alignment at some point in the future. You’ll notice when the door starts to become misaligned because the bolt will no longer latch in the strike plate after closing the door. Then you won’t be able to keep the door closed or locked.
The best solution in these situations is to adjust the lock and align the bolt with the strike plate again. Just make sure you don’t attempt the adjustment yourself because you could put your property’s security at even greater risk. Instead, hire a professional locksmithing company to do the lock adjustment job for you.
