` ABSTRACT The present invention concerns an autobody door latch alignment tool comprising a lever arrangement including: a strike pin engaging slot adapted to engage, and be rotatable about a strike pin mounted on a first door post of an autobody opposite a second door post arranged apart from and generally parallel to the first door post; a door latch engaging pin adapted to engage a door latch on a misaligned door that is hung by hinges from the second door post of the autobody, with the door latch engaging pin being arranged in mutually spaced apart relation from the strike pin engaging slot at respective points defining a chord along an arc subtended by an angle of the doors rotation about its hinges; and, a lever arm; with the door latch engaging pin and strike pin engaging slot being interconnected through a connection extending transversely to the chord, and being adapted to be secured in fixed relation with the lever arm, in which arrangement the strike pin engaging slot is operable to act as a fulcrum when securely engaged in rotatable relation with the strike pin, in response to an application of leverage through the lever arm from a point remote from both the strike pin engaging slot and the door latch engaging pin, and the door latch engaging pin is operable in conjunction therewith and when engaged with the door latch, to exert a corrective bending moment through the door to the hinges thereof.
