 Door problem



Hello All,

My drivers door no longer opens correctly.
If I simply pull on the handle the door mechanism does not release.
I must now push the door in and while doing so... pull on the handle .... and the door then opens.

I know little about the inner assembly/workings of the door mechanism.

Any suggestions/fixes?

Thanking you all in adance

Peace,
D

Try a "smear" of grease on the striker pin (doorjamb).

Check that all set screaws are in all the way if one backed out a little it will throw the strike off!

had the same problem too. I was going to post about it, but the mechanics fixed it during the routine inspection. Good to know some solutions for next time.
