The door latch catch is a mechanism that keeps the door closed. It works by engaging with the door striker when the door is closed, preventing it from opening. To maintain it properly, regularly lubricate the latch mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant and ensure that the latch and striker are properly aligned. Additionally, check for any signs of wear or damage and replace any worn components as needed.
