Back in Nov. '18, I posted this in response to someone's similar situation:
Some years ago Bill Bramlett modified some latch pins by replacing the original
pin+rubber+visible surround with a solid steel pin. When I
finally got around to installing the one he gave me, it made a world of
difference difference in the door's closing. IIRC, JimK has taken over and
has them
made for sale.
Last year, I removed, disassembled, cleaned and re-lubricated the latch. I can
now latch the door firmly with one finger.
While you're fooling with the latch, adjust the barrel nut in the interior
lock button's shaft to that location that prevents locking the door from
the outside without the key --
There were several other postings associated with that confirming the value
of the solid striker -- and comments by JimK about the difficulty of
getting cores to modify.
As a follow up to that, Kim asked me to submit a writeup for the GMCMI
magazine, which I did -- you can probably find that, with photo, at
www.gmcmi.com
