Lloyd90 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Our en-suite door handle seems to have seized up, the handle is very stiff and hard to push down, will only go down about 1/4 of the way it should and the latch that opens/ holds the door closed only goes into the recess about 1/4 of what it should. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Scrap it and buy another. the latch body wears out inside causing it to only turn a quarter of what it should Got a picture of the lock ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs closed the door this morning and it wouldn’t open back up. Luckily a flat head screw driver got it open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
