Thread: door hndle?

Hi,

Had the same with mine.

inside the door, there is a small rod going down to the latch from the rear end of the outside door mechanism.

Unclip the retainer and turn the rod clockwise to adjust it (it is threaded into plastic bizo at the bottom), took a coupla goes to get it right for me, works a treat now.

I have the same problem. I tried spraying some WD40 into the catch and it did free it up for a few months until it got hard to open from the outside again, another spray cured it, But I will have to check the inards some day

That is the trick. I have done it with both my front doors now.

The only problem is you need tiny hands and not sausage fingers like mine!
