i need mike to correct my door terminology here

i just noticed today 2.5 months after living here that the main upstairs bathroom doesnt close properly. the part on the door (by the handle) that goes in and then goes out ot make the door "closed" is about a centimeter lower than the little whole in the wall. the little metal plate in teh frame is set too high.

my dad informed me the first weekend he was over after i lived here about the den (middle sized bedroom) closet door being the same way. well it's only set about 1/4 of an inch too high here. 

the door from the garage has something wrong with it too. i think the hole is set too deep or something. it's sooooo hard to get it to click into place.


update with the terminology from mike: the part of the lock that sticks out is the latch. the metal part on the jamb of the door that covers the hole is called the strike.
