My door won't lock when I'm on the road...

Bought my 2001 rig in 2007. No problems until a few years ago and now when my trailer is on the truck (5'er) the door won't lock. Has it just settled? Think it would help to file down the top and bottom of the deadbold to give it a little more wiggle room?

  • It just tweaks enough to throw off the alignment. File the hole on the strike plate which is located on the door frame.
