    Good evening all. I just have a question. I am having a **** of a time keeping my damn doors closed. I have adjusted the latches and they always come loose again. I was thinking about bear claws maybe but I am not sure which to get Or if there is any thing else I could do.

    Are the screws backing out ? If so,what about using loc-***e and see it that helps before you invest in new latches.

    No not out. I have been moving it around the latch and tightning it down a lot almost every day.

    Try and post pics of the latch.
    Is it possible to get a nut on the end of the screw?

    The tri 5's have a lock spacer behind them. Thin piece of metal that has points to make them help hold the stricker in place. Maybe some star washers would help ??

    good Idea! I have to take the whole damn thing apart anyway. I will check for everything and use some loc ***e and check for those star washers
