The bedroom door would not latch. The door latch was lower than the striker. Looking at the doorframe, the whole thing is off plumb. The vertical jambs align with the door, but the top and bottom are skewed. I wonder if the entire structure has moved. Rather than take it apart, I moved the door up about 3/8", as there was room between the top of the door and the frame. It's working again.

Something to keep an eye on, and possibly fully rebuild. The door itself is a heavy sucker. One long screw and one short screw are in each hinge.

Gonna assume that you made sure you were perfectly level when doing this, or it would be a moot point.
 
X2. I have had a couple of coaches that were real finikey that way.
 
The rig is level. So we expect a bit of door misalignment when off level? This one was quite a bit off.
