Friends door seems a little loose. We looked at the latch on the jam. Can these be moved in? We see two screws but no slot for adjustment.

Loose how? Doesn't close tight?

The door components don't have room to move - but the strike plate on the jamb should have slots for adjustment.

Wait until you replace the weather seal around the door...you will get to adjust it again. At least you know how now... Chap
