Problem with my front door .. question

[Captain Caveman]

A few days ago, I noticed the mental striker was not hitting the pad properly on the lock.
I would have to use force to pull the door inwards ( from the outside) to get the striker to properly close the door

The maintanence guy only filed down the hole or pad area
Now the door aligns well but I have a bigger spaced in my strkiing pad

I guess its ok as the door closes

I'm not sure with American doors but in the UK, 99% of door problems are down to the hinges, normally the door dropping slightly, then things get misaligned
