Title: door lock mechanism
Post by: Gunning on August 04, 2014, 06:07:48 PM

i thought i better create a thread for this
here are some pics
first pic shows the angle the outside cog can achieve
second pic shows how the movement affects the internal locking mechanism

this pic is really crap, hard to try focus
what i was trying to highlight is the "neck" on the bracket thats worn, allowing for the movement

Yep, she looks fairly shagged Gunning  :'(

Probably best to look for a good second hand unit.
