Interesting. My son and I soaked the latch in brake cleaner, but that
didn't do the job, but when we started feeling around in the inside of the
door,
we discovered an "adjustment" nut on the rod coming from the outside door
handle. After experimenting with the positioning, we discovered it was best
to
set it tighter, and the locking mechanism stayed in place with more
tensioning. Apparently over the years of use the nut had backed off, thus
causing the
latch to not stay in locked position when triggered.
FYI, we also sprayed white lithium grease on the mechanism after adjusting
and everything works beautifully now.
Thanks for the suggestions.
