Hi Sam, The top 3 or 4 possibities that strike me include:
-A bent hinge. DH may be able to remove and straighten.
-Sometimes, a very little change in angle caused by age/use/wear can cause this type of door to sag a little. That can make a big change at the strikeface/latch location. Possible bottom hinge shimming could lift the door to meet the strikeface at it's proper point.
-The strikeface may simply need adjusting.
-Of course, it could be related to the top rebuild.
We all hope it's something simple! Bob
