The strike plate is obviously crooked and loose.
Just fixed my daughter’s closet door following these instructions. Worked great! Thank you!
YES! Best comment ever. Ryan, I’m so glad it helped. Father of two girls here myself. Thanks so much for watching.
FYI: It might be obvious for most but let the wood filler dry completely before putting back the plate or screws. It should be hard as wood when it's ready. It's tempting to just push the screw in then let it dry but that will result in loose screws.
Great point Surgio. Thanks so much for chiming in and also for watching!
What kind of wood filler do you recommend?
Great video !!!
I am so glad you liked it. Thanks so much for watching.
why not flip the strike plate over so it lies flush on the wood to mark it easier....
Bryce, great tip! I appreciate you sharing. Thanks also for watching!
Because then the latch will connect as well and the door can’t be picked easily
@@YvonneMurphythey said to flip the strike plate over to MARK it easier. It wouldn’t be installed flipped over.
Thank you
You're welcome
I love the intro
Thanks so much. And thanks so much for watching.
How about for something that isn't a closet door that you want to be a bit more solid and secure?
The simplest way may be to get longer screws that better anchor into the available wood. Remember to drill appropriate pilot holes to prevent wood splitting.
As others said, too, if you're using wood filler, give it plenty of time to dry. Some (all?) fillers also recommend that deep fills are cured in two or more shallow layers, rather than a big gob. For example, DAP Plastic Wood directs deep fills with 1/8" layers; 2 to 6 hours drying of shallow fills, 36 hours for deeper fills. Properly applied and cured filler should hold a screw very well.
obviously single guy. that's going to fall apart quick.
Still holding. I’m probably gonna build it up with a block of wood soon.
