new interior door handle latch won't fully retract, locking you in or out
In article 6,
DerbyBorn wrote: These sort of handles usually have a stop in each handle. If you've used the old fixing holes it is likely reaching the stop before the latch has retracted fully. Remove the fixing screws and turn the handle so the latch is fully retracted. Mark new screw holes with a pencil, drill pilot holes and fix. Do the same both sides. Looks a bit daft with rectangular escutcheons! True. You'd then be down to dismantling the handle and filing down the stop. -- *I'm pretty sure that sex is better than logic, but I can't prove it.
