Door lock question....

[bagged91]

The reason your door is having difficulty locking could be one of these 2 reasons...

#1) Your door latch is "sticking". Soak it with CRC or WD-40 or Tri-Flow. I actually removed mine from the door(it broke). I soaked the crap out of the new one, got the catch to spin nice & free and I greased the contact surfaces. After reinstalling, it works fine and locks with just your fingertip on the key. The lock cylinder had nothing to do with it...

#2) Your door is out of alignment. You may notice that you have to push, pull or jiggle your door to get it to lock. Again, that is because the dogleg in the catch isn't engaging.

This is my experience with the locks on burbs. Also, I found out it's really fun to put it all back together with the glass in...
