Slideout lock mechanism

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jim Shaw:
Paul. The springs that I replaced were 9 inches long and very small in diameter. I purchased them from Power Gear/Kwikee
in Mishawaka, IN. the telephone number was 574-254-5265. The item number was DN13052 and were 4.56 each plus shipping when I received mine. I just found my invoice, hope this will help you.

Jim Shaw:
Paul if you find the springs, let me know as I would like to get some extra sets for future use. If you cannor fine them another thought is to find a spring specialty store and try to match them up.

http://www.generalwirespring.com/default.asp This is an example of where you can find various springs. They may direct you to a dealer to get them.

Paul Schwalen:
Thanks to Jim and Richard for the info.  I have reassembled the unit without the springs and I believe it will lock the slideout w/o the springs but will not retract into its sleeve without them. (This I can do manually if necessary) We will be home on Sunday and I will  be able to measure the diameter of the spring wire and then make a search on the net for the correct ones.  I will post the results when I order them and again when I receive/install them. :)

Jim Shaw:
Paul, you are correct that you can operate it manually, but besure you retract it before closint the slide or you will tear the seal and posible do other damage. You can guess I speak from experence. I now have a sign with large RED letters posted by the slide swith to remind me to check before closing the slide. I check from outside while the wife closes the slide.
