I finally got my door curved enough to shut with secondary latching. Now it seems my lower latch jaw (LLJ) will lock initially but not secondary. The upper works fine. I took it apart and the cam that locks it seem to be working and the LLJ will lock as long as I put a little down pressure on the horizontal bar. Seems either a spring is missing or is weak somewhere or an adjustment is needed.

Is there a presentation or write up on adjustments for these mechanisms?

Also the lithium grease on it is old. What are y’all using to clean and lube these things?

Thanks

PS. I do not have email access to responses.
