Before I go hog wild and pig cowrazy tearing into the door panel, the problem seems to be that from the inside when pulling the lever to open the door, it doesn't.
It will open from the outside. It locks, and unlocks just fine otherwise. Anybody know what the problem is? |

I had that happen to me when I was mucking around with the internals of the door. I had swapped the screw for the window crank with the screw behind the door latch.
The window crank handle screw is slightly longer, and it keeps the inner door latch from opening all the way. If you've been working on the door since the last time it worked properly, this is definitely something to check. --DD |

Do this first, 5 minutes or less to check it! |
