Side hinge .50 cal. ammo can will not stay latched. Fixes?

I've got a couple of WWII vintage side hinge cans that the lids will not stay latched closed on.

 

Cans are otherwise in good shape. Besides keeping them closed with a cotter pin or a paperclip as I am now, anyone know how to adjust and what to adjust to get the latch to stay latched? 

 

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to have this issue.

 

Thanks.
