[Spits] Keeping latches closed

[hdrider570 at att.net]

I had the same problem with my Herald which uses the same latch.

It turned out that the DPO had replaced the three screws that secure the the latch to the body with new ones that had thicker heads. 
The additional hight of the screw stopped the latch from fully seating.  It was only about a 1/16" but it was enough to mess it up.

 I replaced the screws and no problems for the last 7 years.
