It was hitting the jamb on the bottom. The hinges seemed tight, so I just hit it with 40 grit sandpaper since it’s solid wood. Hit it with some sealant and it looks good as new.

I had to retighten the handle too. When I went to do the final test I was a little worried it the handle might not work correctly so I made sure I had my phone, my leatherman, and a bottle of water “just in case”.

I was surprised and very happy how well it came out.

    I live in a 110 year old house, I know how satisfying that click is when it latches. Bravo

      My garage was built in the 50s on a really bad foundation. The door latches perfectly in the winter. It doesn’t latch at all in the summer.
