Doors are designed to have a bit of play along that interlock so that the door can grow or move along that line.

Have you checked to see if you get the door centered, i.e. right in the sweet spot, that it engages both interlocks and provides a relatively tight air seal along both sides?

If so...get a foot bolt for the non dominant active size so that it is locked in that position.
