Perhaps I'll try to loosen and slide it, having no real information on what the proper proceedure is. Thanks again.
Larry, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. If you haven't already you should try this: loosen the two screws securing the lower striker latch plate (about one turn each) and strike the plate inboard.The anchor plates float within the body and this will allow some adjustment.
