Thanks for your reply. The builder's warranty was for one year only, and
we are a few months past that. :-( I'll look into the foam stripping.
The builder did come out about six months ago and make adjustments to the
lock plate. Problem is, the locks (both door handle lock and deadbolt are
optimally alligned with the plates. Moving the plates further makes it
very difficult to get the lock to match up with the plates.
