[DML] Re: Door locks

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Something is wrong with the connecting rods in the door of the lock 
and/or door handles. Probably the locking screws on the door lock 
rods have loosened up or they are dragging against the door lever 
rods. I have seem the mounting screws for one of the piviots come 
loose and give this symptom. Take off the top interior trim piece 
and observe the functions. I am guessing it will be obvious.

not hold it, it will move to the middle like position and the door 
is locked, it doesn't move until I lift either open lever, then it 
moves and locks the door.
