How to Fix a Door Latch

IMG_4742-edit-res.JPG
Maybe you have some trouble like the picture, when you want to install a door latch because the side of the door have different thickness.
Others maybe use a piece of wood to fix it. But I prefer not to use it for some reason like to find, cut, make sure the wood have correct size, and etc.
Fortunately, I still keep some washers, so why I'm not doing something different.

In my case, I need insert 3 pieces of the washers in each side of the latch. You may add or reduce the amount of washers.

Insert the Latch, Washers and Screws in Place

While screws, slide the washers slightly to fit into the latch, especially for the washers at the bottom
