Hi, I remove the lock (the part that have the handles) and clean it to lubricate the mechanism. We have two problems : 1- The locking knob does not always go to the lock position (up) 2- Sometimes the sliding door doesn't lock, it goes back open. For the first problem, I seen that maybe the cable to the central locking (at the back of the door) had stretch or something else have problem. Does the foam pad in center should be glued on the door, could it be the source of the problem. For the door that doesn't close all the times, is it an adjustment problem ? or it is also caused by the cable ? (because, when I remove the panel, both problem are less frequent).
