Thread: Part Numbers for Lift up Handles

Timely post Flagg - might be just what I need.
My driver's door has always been a bit dodgy when you try to open it from the inside (only opened with the last smidgeon of the inner handle movement), but after a month of dust and corrugations it no longer opens at all.

Just wondering if its a similar reason that you're chasing some, or if you've had them apart do you have any insight on what might cause my issue.

Have you taken the inside of the door off Steve? Sounds more like an adjustment, particularly if it's only the inside handle at the end of it's swing.

You could be right Judo, but given its age and that its only the drivers door I'm expecting that its at least partly wear related. I've had the door card off once but only briefly to sort out a stuck window issue so didn't take much notice of the opening mechanism. Is there adjustment available?

Was being lazy and hoping that Flagg's issue was exactly the same as I've got and easily resolvable by replacement (to save me having to think about it too much)

Well I haven't seen inside my County door yet, but I would say the mechanism will be similar to a Disco and most other old style doors, which has an adjustment through a threaded rod.

The bulk of the latch mechanism is obviously at one end of the door, where it latches to the body. The outside handle is also near there. The inside handle is the other end of the door and has a rod that connects back to the latch mechanism. I would hazard a guess the rod that connects the internal handle to the latch mechanism is a threaded rod and can be unclipped at one end and turned so it's slightly shorter.

Surely someone can confirm my guess tho?? That's the theory with my Disco locks anyway...

Steve, there is an easy adjustment to fix your issue, my cards are off at the moment, I'll grab some picks soon.



Mine are jamming

Thanks Flagg.
Now that I know there is definitely an adjustment I'll pull the card off on the weekend and check it out.
