Adjust Door Latch Mechanism? - Windows and Doors - DIY Chatroom ...

I have replaced all the old, cheap and ugly doorknobs in my house with new Schlage lever handlesets. However, I have discovered that you have to fully depress/turn the lever all the way down (90 degrees) for the latch to fully retract allowing the door to open. I am wondering if there is any way to adjust the latch mechanism so that I don't have to depress the lever so far? |
How close to the jamb is the door?
Is the strike plate and door latch plate mortised into the frame and door respectively? Or do they sit on top of the wood?
Creating a larger clearance between the door and frame on the latch side will help(if it's possible).
Post some photos of the door spacing and the latch and strike plate.
