Unique problem with outside kitchen door

I have a 317RLOK, it is 4 years old, bought it new.
Last year I noticed the outside kitchen door would open while driving, scary to say the least.
Upon looking at the three latches which hold the door closed, they we’re barely making contact with the bottom edge of the door opening in the sidewall.
Either the door “shrunk” or the sidewall below the opening settled down.
I have fixed the problem, but am wondering if anyone else has encountered this?

I had the same latch issue with my Northpoint, but it was the front storage compartment door.
I took the inside latch piece and extended it by welding a cut down large washer to them.
Everything was fine for the first couple years then suddenly the latches weren't keeping it closed. I dont know what happened, but ever since I made them longer, no more issues.

I do not have your latches. But I have seen open up in rush hour traffic. I have also seen then open whe on the road.

Huron, great job extending those latches I would never have thought of doing that. Going to file that one away and hopefully pass it on.
