Electric Tape Around The Striker Pins

For the lazy or spanner inept among us, a simple fix is to wrap some electrical tape around the pins (making them bigger in diameter).

This will have to be re-applyed over time as the tape will slowly become ripped ect.

An alternative to tape, string

Having used the tape method for a few months I did not like it a lot, it looked bad and did not really work. I fixed the issue by using simple string (the kind used to wrap parcels). Drop of super glue to fix the end, then wrap it around tightly and neatly and fixing the other end with another drop of super glue. If you want it to last for years use a bit of wood glue to soak the string all around, will make it very durable. My doors now shut like on a Merc. Okay, not really, but a lot better.
