Happy Saturday all.
The door handle on my sliding door has finally given up and stopped opening from the outside. It's been a bit temperamental since I got it but with so many other things to get done on it, it's been put to the back of the queue. It will open from the inside and it locks and unlocks as it should.
The problem I think I've got is that somebody (not me, honestly) has had a go at taking the handle off before and the T25 screw that you unscrew to take out the smaller fixed section of the handle out (circled in red) does absolutely nothing. The barrel part won't move at all. Even with some good old fashioned 'encouragement'.
Also, does the bar (circled in blue) look to be in the correct position? It certainly wasn't when I started. That also seems to move a lot when using the exterior handle.
Any help or pointers would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
