Sliding Door

Post by Blueskai » Sat May 26, 2012 8:54 pm

When opening the door, the 'release' seems quite late and when it does release, it is heavy, if this makes sense. Almost as if it is locking too tight.
I am sure I need to give more info here But you may know what I mean.

Questions are welcome!

mine does this most of the time, i keep thinking i should strip the panel off and lube everything. and check the internal adjustments as i also have a very annoying squeak at the rear catch too.

Thanks. Mine seems like it is locked too tightly. Like it is under excessive tension when secure. So when I pull the handle, the release is quite powerful.
