Have a door to the basement level and was subject to a major flood. The frame is warped and the bolt no longer aligns with the plate. Looking for the most practical solutions to get the bolt to work. My guess would be to modify the plate to accommodate the bolt. One image shows, in red, where the door hits the frame. Guidance sought
