How to Fix a Door Latch
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.

Insert the Ring
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
Each side have washers
Trim Washers Position
While screws, slide the washers slightly to fit into the latch, especially for the washers at the bottom
Completed
Now you can lock the latch properly
