No joy! Any idea?
So I took off the boot trim, the clips and the cir-clip.
Nothing is looking wrong apparently and both bits of plastic are still in place and look good (even the picture isn't so good).
But I guess the circular copper (?) spring - even still in place - may have snapped at least at one end.
So I put it back.
Then same work in reverse order.
I tried once: miracle! that worked again. Twice same luck. Thrice barrel is turning with no end again and again. Electric indoor latch working fine as usual.
So I repeated all the entire process once more. Now it refuses to work with the key, not even the first time. Electric indoor latch working fine as usual.
My guess is some barrel element may be tired and worn.
Could you help?
I would be deeply happy and grateful because I'm becoming upset with that blasted locking even I can do without the key!
But what will happen if the indoor electric mechanism occurs to die?
