Hi all,
I have an internal door that has a Yale 89 nightlatch fitted. As the door is closed onto the nightlatch, if you look at the door from the outside, the hinge side of the door meets the door stop perfectly. However on the lock side, the bottom meets the door stop but there is a large gap at the top corner, both above and at the side of the door. I tried to rectify this by moving the door stop on that side so it was angled towards the top to try and counteract this problem, however this now means that the staple that the nightlatch goes into now needs to move further into the frame which will involve totally chiselling the staple into the door frame, at the minute it is surface mounted. I was wondering if there was an easy fix for this as I didn't really want to have to chisel the frame out to embed the staple and on the outside it is clearly visible that the door stop is now angled. For example, would buying a brand new door stop the problem or is it with the frame or hinges?
Any help much appreciated,
Regards.
