Repairing Broken Door Latch, Plastic Cam? Options

[kconway]

My driver door doesn't open from the outside and I've been told that most likely the plastic cam is broken. I checked the tangs on the flapper and they are not broken. I've done a search here but can't find a replacement thread for the cam. Is there a thread and could somebody point me to it? If not, can someone explain the process?

Thanks,
Kevin

after replacing my handle, it still feels locked... i mean bound up really tight! i have lubed everything and, without the handle, the latch mechanism works easily. the handle also moves without obstruction when not installed... anyone have insight?

It depends what you repaired/replaced. If you had to replace the flapper, I assume you replaced the rivet with a bolt. If so, I have seen the bolts bind against the body if they are a hair too long, or if the nut sticks out too far.

It is tough to say without feeling the problem. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) (I used to try that line on my dates too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) )
