Re: [VAL] door knob--locked inside!

hey glyn
i purchased a new lockset for my 66 from inland and after a short time found
i could not open it from the outside. after fiddling with it i finally got
it to open. (this is  important because you can only disassemble the lockset
from the inside and all windows were locked). anyway, i took it apart and
found that there is a phillips head screw centered in the inside that had
come loose that held the outside handle tightly to the mechanism that opens
the stricker bar. i retighten it and have had no further problems. i found
that the lockset should be turned only clockwise to open it. when turned
counterclockwise, it seems to put pressure on that set screw, causing it to
loosen. not sure if this is the same problem you had but thought i would
tell you my experience.
