Patch the latch
So you have a door latch that keeps sticking, making opening and closing the door more of a chore than it should be. Don't worry, you don't have to go out and buy new hardware. Let's get it working again with the help of WD-40.
Step 1
Tools you'll need: - Paper towels - Can of WD-40
Step 2
Prep the WD-40 can by giving it a good shake and flipping the Smart Straw up to the "stream" position.
Step 3
Cover the friction points of the door latch with WD-40 and allow it to soak in for a few minutes.
Step 4
Work the WD-40 into the door latch by toggling the latch with your finger and by turning the door handle.
Step 5
Using your paper towels, wipe away any excess liquid to prevent dripping and apply a protective coat.
Step 6
Open and close the door a few times to finish the job. This door latch works much better now, all thanks to the help of WD-40.
