Pinpoint Tests


DIAGNOSTIC TEST A: DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN OR CLOSE FROM ANY DOOR HANDLE

Normal Operation and Fault Symptoms

The door latch can be operated from inside or outside by the door handle. When operated, the door latch releases and allows the door to open. If the door latch or door hinges have insufficient lubrication, or if the latch or door is misaligned, this causes additional effort to open or close the door.

Possible Sources

  • Door Alignment
  • Door Hinges
  • Striker Adjustment
  • Door Latch
A1 CHECK OPERATION OF LATCH FROM BOTH DOOR HANDLES
  • Open the door using both the inside and outside door handles.

Does the door open normally from either door handle?
Yes If the door opens with difficulty/does not open from the outside door handle, GO to Pinpoint Test B.
If the door opens with difficulty/does not open from the inside door handle, GO to Pinpoint Test C.
No GO to A2
A2 CHECK LATCH OPERATION
  • Open the door.
  • Using a screwdriver, fully close the latch (2 clicks).
  • Make sure the latch opens easily by pulling the inside/outside door handle.

Does the latch open easily?
Yes GO to A4
No GO to A3
A3 CHECK LATCH OPERATION AFTER LUBRICATION
  • Lubricate the door latch.
    REFER TO: Door Latch Lubrication (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, General Procedures).
  • Using a screwdriver, fully close the latch (2 clicks).
  • Make sure the latch opens easily by pulling the inside/outside door handle.

Does the latch open easily?
Yes Insufficiently lubricated door latch was the concern.
No INSTALL a new door latch.
REFER TO: Front Door Latch (501-14 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems, Removal and Installation).
