Sliding fix??

[radish]

Anyone know how to fix my sliding door?
It opens and closes fine but when I close it and lift the handle it pulls the door it but when let go it moves out again.
If anyone knows how please answer quickly as I'm motivated to fix this due to the bus working!!! Nothing has broken since ninove which is remarkable.

Cheers Darius

I think it will be one of the locking leavers broken mate. 19 or 22 in the diagram.

Few more details needed - has it just recently stopped latching fully? Does the door sit flush when you pull the handle up? Can you make it latch by pushing the rear of the door in whilst lifting up the handle?

Cheers sam.

It has always done it.when I said it pulls in I meant flush. IT doesn't latch at the rear.

Try moving the striker plate outwards slightly just in case the mechanism is coming just short of latching. If this still doesn't work, then I'd agree that one of the latching levers may have broken.

On a similar note, my handle will not lift up to pull the rear in. Front mech all seems fine so suspect it is the rear. Anyone had this and knows a fix. Handle just seems solid.

I had this and I had to shim out the striker plate at the front of the door. Only needed about 30 thou and that was it!
