Hey everyone I am having troubles with my door I took off the original one I had because it had huge dents and everything and replaced it with one that I got from craigslist I took the one I had on off and bolted on the new one now when I close the door it shakes it seems like if it is not bolted on because I can move it quite a bit when its closed but all the bolts are on tight any one know what I may have missed

To clarify. Does it seem loose at the hinge? Can you move the door up and down on the hinge when door is open? Or does it seem loose at the latch mechanism when the door is closed? Rattles back and forth on the striker?

Sounds like two problems; the hinges are in need of new bushing kits, and the strike needs to be adjusted to fully latch solid.
