Hi Craig,

Is your door latch piece not moving in and out?... that could be either from need of lubrication or a broken spring.

I found that most issues from door latches are that they get moisture in there and start to rust. I had replacement stainless steel springs made as a replica of the originals knowing that they would not rust and snap over time like the original ones.

The coiled-looking springs need to have their end/s inserted in place and then the center twisted (to obtain tension) and pushed in the housing slot in between the two tabs on the latch mechanism piece. I hope that all makes sense!

Drop me an email with photos of your latch mechanism if you wish and I will be able to see better what is going on. My email is:   davinc@bigpond.net.au
