Condition

Cause

This condition may be due to internal friction within the door lock mechanism at the rivet (2) which attaches the door external handle lever to the lock base. The lever is returned to the rest position by the return (or torsion) spring (1). The door lock will not release unless the lever returns fully to the rest position.
