Yes, I know what you mean. Overlapping screw holes is always a problem when your only option for a replacement part is something only slightly larger. We do carry a longer strike plate which may help; see our 79-026.
There is another solution that may not require a replacement part. You might be able to square up the door by adjusting the hinges. Depending on which way the door is sagged, you can pack out one hinge (I use shirt cardboard) and recess the other one further into the jamb. Also, if it's a wood door, you can get a carpenter to cut the door out of square to the opening. |
