In the process of trying to remove the door lock with extreme violence I am pleased to say when the door lock was given a good bashing from the inside and it released itself
Don't you just love .. when all else fails .. apply "Brute Force & ignorance" .. Fixes all / Best item in the tool box :pQuote:

try adding a second tension spring to compensate for the one in the grab handle. from memory it goes from the lever upwards to a spot near the " button" at the top of the door. the extra pressure seems to keep the old lock working for about three or so years now
