My door latches do not function well. For both the outside and inside, I have to really crank on the handles to get the latch to release, only the last millimeter releases it and no fully. I still have to pull on it. They are also hard to get to latch closed and stay closed. I took out the mechanism and I don't fully understand how it works. Would replacing the star wheels fix my issues or are there other springs that need to be replaced? I have no problem buying the new complete mechanism from Bernbaum, but I'm worried the repro's will not work like the factory, anyone with experience buying new? Here are some pics for reference. Also, do most people just use some mystery oil on the moving parts. Any pointers on where to put the oil are appreciated.
