This is the one part of building that causes me nothing but headaches.

I have a prehung door on the pole barn. Last night, I went in and out no problem. Pulled the door shut behind me on the way out and couldn't get it open again. Took 15 minutes of fussing to get the knob to turn enough to release. Got inside and checked the strike plate and it looked like the strike plate was set a little too far out and was hanging up on the latch. Since it was dark, I left the door ajar and figured to work on it today.

Tonight, I go out and try the door and it works fine. Latches and locks and unlocks and opens just like its supposed to. The only difference is the temperature. Last night was bitter cold (sub 0). Tonight we've got a nice South wind and the temps are about 30 degrees warmer.

I've got the strike plate as far to the inside of the hole as I can. In order to move it the smidgen, I'll have to shave a little off the hole. The only question is, once the weather warms up, will the door be somewhat loose?
