Humvee door latch broke?

[Hummer Guy]

I'm finally getting around to installing my x doors. I got one question, is it normal that the doors can be pulled open even when its completely latched in place? I have a plate and about 3 washers in place to make the latch stick out further to grab on to the stryker.

Mine don't work that way. Did you adjust the striker out? Is it front or rear? The strikers are different and have different offsets. Make sure you have the correct ones in the correct places. Also make sure they aren't on backwards and are offset in the correct direction. BTW, I'm assuming it isn't completely latching and that is why it pulls open.

Added a picture, the ones in the foreground of the picture are Rears. The ones in the back are Fronts.

No. It is not normal.
The latch clicks once when partially closed. Then again when fully closed.

No it is not.

That's probably my problem, I think Im using the rear stryker for the front

I found out my issue, its the door handle, for some reason, just touching it, would make the latch release. I believe the spring tensioner is maybe too lose or something wrong with this crappy locking door handle
