Door closes, lever moves catch. But no engage. Is it possible the stationary piece needs to be adjusted up or down?

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm not sure if you're referring to the lock or the keeper as the stationary piece. Are you saying the hook doesn't reach the keeper? If so, you may need to adjust the hook. You will note a small, slotted screw just above the hook. By turning that you extend the hook out or retract it back in, depending on which way you turn it.

I meant the keeper. I assumed that the lock moved the latch with the lever, so I called the keeper the stationary piece.
Anyway, the moving piece or latch moves in and out but not vertically like the ones in your videos. The lock is 6" H x 3/4" wide. Can you suggest a new set and pri e it for me? I will buy direct from you if possible. My customer is using a stick to lo k his door at present. :)
