Does everyone's door have this problem? The deadbolt is 1/2 inch, but it only locks about 1/4 inch. The pictures with the red dot all the way to the left show the fully locked position, while the red dot almost straight down shows what mine locks at. It seems they didn't drill or file out enough of the inside wood for the door to fully lock. The video demonstrates how I often have to close my door, given the strike plate and inside wood not being drilled or filed down? I'm hesitant to drill that out due to it being wrapped in some sort of laminate material and affecting the water protection properties. Any advice? I guess I can't upload a video lol

I modified the depth behind the strike plate in both of our RVs. You have to be very careful, though, that's not a couple of 2 x 4s back there like in a stix 'n brix.
