I just got new outside door handles cause my old ones both broke. I have them on and when I lock the door from the inside it will make it so you can't open it from the outside when using the key. The key works fine it goes in and lets me turn it but it won't unluck it. It the same way on both doors.

Did you put the little piece on the handle that is held in place by a screw. It is a small metal piece that has an off set pin on it that moves the latch when the key is turned.
See it here at the top of the picture... Paul Attached image(s)

Yep that peace is on the handle when I stuck them on. The door opens just fine and locks just fine its just it won't unlock. Is there anything else it could be. Cause with my old locks before the handles broke they locked and unlock just fine.

Did the new handles come with new lock cylinders and keys?
Or did you install the existing ones? Paul |

That's right. If you take the screw out and pull off that piece with the pin on it, the lock cylinder can be pulled out with the key.

You got a SWEET!! deal.
You may have them on the wrong doors. They would be upside down if they are switched and I don't think they will work. That pin has to rotate in the right direct to unlock the door. You may have to pull one to see. Paul |

Can you lock the door from the outside with the key?
(you got those handles for a great price) |

door handles do work flipped! i know they do....
im guessing you dont have the right key for them. it is EXTREMELY easy to change out lock cylinders. haynes describes it..."adequately"... *put key in lock cyl, unscrew the back of the cylinder...etc. very easy. |

Why did you relace them, were they broken?
Don't throw the broken ones away. I'll take them off your hands. Paul |

when installing door handles, the "tab" on the backside of the lock has to be engaged in the door locking mechanism.....,
look at the pic in the beginnig of the thread, its the "tab" on the back of the lock hope im making sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
