The lock and latching mechanisms of the motorhome door are pretty complex, and after years of normal wear they may require some adjustment if they become finicky and are not operating properly. On ours, the door latch would sometimes stick in the locked position, and require some effort and jiggling of the door handle to get it to open. The picture shows the door lock mechanisms, and I have annotated the drawing with a label showing the turnbuckle that needed adjusting to return the outside handle locking mechanism to proper functioning. In this instance, the turnbuckle needed to be turned two threads worth to shorten it 1/16th inch. While the door panel is off and all the mechanisms are accessible, it is a good idea to lube everything.
