Default Internal door handle, deadlatch does not fully retract

I've occasionally thought of putting a small strip of shim metal
between the square shaft and the deadlatch mechanism, as that usually
seems to be where the wear occurs.

I usually just buy a new deadlatch though.

BTW Union do deadlatches with nylon 'retractors' - quieter than the
standard brass ones IME.
