datzenmike Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I've fought with 620 door locks a lot. With the door card or panel off try hosing everything down with WD-40 and work all the linkages. Pull the door lock button up and down repeatedly. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 The grease on the door lock mechanism is 43 years old as I write this, and had also had that long to accumulate dirt and grime. Taking the the door lock mechanism out of the door, and cleaning all the old grease off it, and relubricating with fresh grease will help it work much better 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 If you say what you did to fix it, someone in the future can use this information for a similar problem. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lonewolf1990 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 i was able to fix it be taking out the whole locking sections and drown it in wd-40 and i also adjusted the nut that is connected to the door handle lever Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 The plastic nut right? 1 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Get a small can [cat food or small olives], soak the assembly in brake cleaner, agitate and air dry. Lube with Remington Gun Oil, it doesn't dry out. It will work. I have fixed 80 year old German wall clocks like this. 1 Quote Link to comment
