I have the set screw tightened about as tight as I can get it, and then curl the cable around to try and keep it from slipping, but has slipped again.
Last time I reached up through the opening, and just took out the 3 allen head screws that hold the latch, to get back in there. Any other ideas to keep it from slipping? |

Here it is with the spring removed. When the cable is pulled, that lower catch rotates and the surfaces indicated by the arrow have to slide against one another. You can see the contact surfaces between the parts really aren't very long.
