no it doesn't. Took the inside panel off and noticed that one of the rods had come off. Looks like the retaining clip is broken. Re-installed the rod where I think it belongs but it doesn't lock. The machanism stays in the unlock position.

Any ideas why?




You may need to clean the mechanism thoroughly. Perhaps remove it. clean it, lubricate it, then reinstall.
It might be that simple.

Reach in and see if you can move the big round counter weight up and down (after the latch is closed).

It might be that the lock rod is not attached correctly?

I hope the pictures help.
