My front door latch made a "pop" sound today and I was not able to open the front door. Luckily Debbie was on the bus and opened the door.
I took the door panel off to look at the situation and this is what I found:
There is a rounded triangular piece of metal on the lower bottom center of the mechanism which turns the assembly clockwise when the latch is pulled and thus opens the door. The problem is the assembly is loose and goes "outward" as the metal tries to turn it thus causing the metal piece to "pop" around under it and not turn the mechanism?
I looked to see if the mechanism could be tightened down but it cannot?
Any thoughts?
I am in Florida , heading to Lazy Days Monday ( 2/8) for a rally. Should I let them look at it or go to Parliment or Millennium or is this a part that can be fairly easily obtained and installed?
Thanks
Jamie
ps What would one do if this happened and no one was on the bus?? How would you get in???
