<VV> Re:Creaks & Groans from Greenbrier Side Doors & Limp Handle

[D. Monasterio]

   I just fixed mine but, it was not the spring. Mostly is due to wear. I fixed mine with some grinding on an internal part (see the pictures) and welding an small rod where the lever moves the opening mechanism as it was opening at about 70 degrees from the horizontal position. It is now perfectly horizontal and opens at about 40 degrees. All fixings are not visible unless you make a disassembly. Pictures are send one by one for easier e-mailing.

<<And finally, the twist down handle for the side door is not returning  to the 
full horizontal; what is the prescribed fix for that malady? Looking in  the 
parts book I see a cylindrical spring (PN: 3813466) located between the  base 
of the handle and the handle escutcheon; is the spring the  culprit?>>
