The striker bolt is the fixed anchor that the door or tailgate latch closes around. Signs it may need replacing include a latch that won't catch, a door or gate that has to be slammed to stay shut, rattling when closed, or a striker that is visibly bent, worn or loose. If a worn or damaged striker is the cause, this Dorman door striker replaces it. Inspect the latch and the door or gate alignment at the same time.
