Front door moving when locked

[Chucklehead]

I'm in a new rented place and have a real issue with my front door.

When the door is locked it can move a good 5-6mm. Every time someone else opens or closes their door or the main door it bangs in it's frame. Wind blowing through the flat? Bangs. Doing my head in.

It looks to me like I'd need to take the yale lock off the frame, chisel out another 6mm or so and then re-seat it.

Any other suggestions? ..and would the above fix it?

The rubber strip isn't a bad idea as it will cut down on draught and noise, moving the keep/striker will fix the rattle though and its free if you can do it yourself.

Didn't think of that actually.. might try the rubber strip first as I don't have any chisels!

Strip is working well.. can hardly close the door though!! Hopefully it eases up a bit overnight..
