Not only the occasional rattle, but when you lock/unlock it's not a "slamming" up and down effect.

I used some JVCC 1MM thick polyester felt tape. It's a large roll for this task but I have other uses for it.

I cut 3 pieces, 2 small ones on the sides, towards the rear of the opening to remain somewhat out of sight.

This made the door lock tab have a very slight, snug fit, but nothing to create any binding.

Has a slight dampening effect when actuating the solenoids, sounds more controlled for lack of better terms.
