just been in t'eriba for t bags for last brew, when putting key in lock turned key, without turning handle, the door opened about half a centimetre, enough for a bar to get in to force open
when locking with key, I normally turn handle to check locked door stays shut, but it moved again which meant unlocking closing door locking and not checking
this doesn't normally happen,
wondering, well fingers crossed the mechanism just needs some lube,
anyone had this happen or perhaps taken the door shutting mechanism apart?

hate to think how much a door mechanism is, may need to contact a very friendly dealer for costs.

had brain fade to what the door handle is attached to hence the strange door shutting mechanism name

any help welcome

Not much help, i'm afraid....................I have to push my door against the rubber doortrim, until latch clicks, then I can then turn key ( which goes clunk! ) then door is locked (which I test by turning handle until it stops short of opening door.)
Maybe yours does just need a touch of lubrication.....but, apart from a graphite spray, I,ve no ideas what to suggest it needs. Ian.

thanks Randa must be a January issue

probably daft questions to follow
did you get the black thing on inside to keep door shut and the round handle outer and the key barrel was extra?
does the barrel work with existing eriba locks key ?

thanks Ian
will investigate tomorrow although locked at moment,
I don't feel its secure enough for travelling.
will take pictures


going to sign off tonight brain muddled many thanks for reply's so far

My door lock used to latch twice when closing it,
are you sure you are pushing the door completely
closed?

Mine too - two "clicks"

Didn't the Yanks use that system during the D Day landings? Two clicks for the good guys

Or a German rifle bolt!

hopefully copy and paste thing will work

door on table



four screws to remove



the door turner ( oiled all moving parts)



fits into centre piece, removed circlip



two distinct cut outs



close view centre piece which has a spring



closer view lock oiled with sewing machine oil (not 3 in one because it has a sticky residue)



escaped ball bearing, this fits in those cut outs and rests on spring in centre piece and needs a small cable tie to put back in
put back together refit door and everything works correctly one latch not two, and the door doesn't open once locked which was the problem.
yippee

Maybe different 'striker' fitted to some models, mine has two 'latch' positions Door striker Eriba Door..jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)
