[QUOTE="Kev946, post: 460188, member: 19811"] Spent some today looking at the sliding door which was all wrong. It didn't align, would not click shut by lifting the handle and the main issue, the U mechanism just wasn't working correctly and the latch was hitting the frame. The first thing I noticed was the missing levers on top of the slider block, meaning that it wasn't engaging and swinging out correctly, so need to order a new one of those. So I thought I'd at least try aligning and adjusting and the good news is it now aligns and locks from the inside and out. So once I have a new slider block I should be able to get it working correctly. Also getting new rubbber buffers and stop. Then clean it all up and lubricate it all. Here's my U slider mechanism and below that how it should look.
