Hi Bill
This whole project started due to my hacked up door. It originally was over curved at bottom causing a lot of effort to close. I believe it was you that recommended the 2x4 at bottom of door technique. I did that and it improved substantially but still required above average effort to double latch. And yes I’ve removed everything to test door fitment. It’s fine except the top needs slight recurring and now the striker pin needs to be lowered about 1/8”.
