Hi,
We have two external doors in our house. One is a wooden door the other PVC. The wooden door wont close when handle is in 'neutral' position. So when closing the door we cant just push it behind us. We have to push the handle down (opening) then push it closed. The latches seem to go into the locking position when the handle is in the middle. I've tried a few different things, like good old WD40 (knew it wouldnt work, but gave it a shot anyways).
If I replaced the door mechanism (with [broken link removed] - need to find the matching one for our door) would that fix it? The PVC door seems to suffer the opposite, when you close it you need to pull the handle up for it to stay closed.
Any other tips more than welcome. I'd guess they arent too difficult to replace, bit of cutting to size on the metal parts from what I see but hopefully nothing else.
