ABSTRACT:
An adjustable striker assembly includes a mounting member on a door frame and a track member mounted thereto for sliding movement in a direction parallel to the door hinge. Cooperating resilient toothed fingers and teeth on the mounting member and track member releasably maintain them in any adjusted position. A body member, slidable relative to the track member and mounting member, includes a striker element engageable by a door latch. During door closing, the latch-striker engagement ratchets the body member and track member relative to the mounting member to automatically correct any misalignment. An adjusting screw between the mounting member and body member is adjustable to adjust the body member and striker element relative to the track member.
