Once when I jammed somehthing in my slider at the back I kept pulling and pulling on the handle and could get it to open. Then I smacked the door to see about popping the panel off and it just slid open. It is a latch similar to a door latch controlled by a rod from the handle/locking mechanism at the front. I found that if the rod or either end latch is not set correctly none of it is and the door will just pop open. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
