HI, I'm replacing the old not very secure lockwood on the front door with a 001 deadlatch
l001.jpg (http://www.renovateforum.com/attachments/f84/100221d1391907601-problem-install-lockwood-001-l001.jpg)
It's been about 20 years since I last installed one and this time I cannot get it working from the outside once closed - the key won't turn once the deadlatch is pushed in. Yet I thought that is exactly how they are meant to work, hence having a 3mm gap or less between the door and the jamb. Nothing is jamming the mechanism as far as I can tell, as everything turns beautifully without the deadlatch depressed
Any ideas what can be causing this?
thanks. Greg
