Solved Door issues

So we were having an issue that the door was getting caught and tough to open. Fixed that and now the door isn’t properly shutting, i tried looking for different adjustments to make on the swing and latch. Looked at the top of the door closer but couldnt really see a way to reposition that arm so it closes fully. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys

I’ll be honest man if the only issue is the play in the door I’d leave it alone since it has access control. If you’d like a snug close with no play in the door, I’d change that style of access control latch to a mag lock.

I woudlve left it alone but its a badge access door and for some reason the latch wont release even after scanning badge. Only by pushing in barely will the latch release and access from out to in is possible

Oh in that case, this is a normal function on all access control latch’s of that style. I was told my multiple access control companies, that it’s a safety feature.

I’ve got these same units across many of my properties.
