Guys,
I've run into something weird that no one has mentioned. I have to lock my door to get it to stay shut or "latch". Anything? Kevin |

QUOTE(nivekdodge @ Jul 5 2023, 07:34 PM)  Guys, I've run into something weird that no one has mentioned. I have to lock my door to get it to stay shut or "latch". Anything? Kevin Pull the latch and throughly degrease it in WD-40 or ultra sonic cleaner. Once it’s clean, try moving the parts. Your problem should become apparent. Look at that spring; is was my problem. If one end of that spring jumps off its post, the latch won’t work. Also check to see if the spring has flat ends; it’s not a garden variety spring. Photo shows correct spring on the right… Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
