OT carpenter French door help

Have French doors under my patio. The problem is that I have a slight gap on the door that doesn’t have the locking latch, allowing for mosquitoes to get in through door. It has the silicone lining on it but it won’t seal shut. Is there anything I can use or ideas to keep door closed tight?

Would need to show a video but can’t download it to be able to send it.

It’s that one door is locked and is all the way in. The other door has play and can be pushed in at least a 1/4 inch because it’s not closing as tight as locked side and I’m trying to see what would help keep it closed tight like the locked side.

Might be able to get a guy down there after Christmas.
A good friend is helping his brother build a house down there.
I do have another friend in Pierre Part, I use to have a place on the water down there.

What is the latching mechanism on the door that will not close tightly? Post a photo.

You may be able to move the strike plate in a little bit on the locked door, or bending the adjuster in the strike plate, or a combination of the two. That would be the first thing I would check. After that, the hinges.

No locking latch on top or bottom of the door? Is the gap in the middle or top/bottom of the door? Please share photos.
