I had the internals of the lock/handle come apart one time. A simple small screw had fallen out and the door handle wouldn't open anything. I was very lucky as my daughter was with us and for some reason had left the sliding window at the back unlocked. We slide the window open and she crawled thru. I handed here the proper screwdrivers and all was well.
I think I had this happen again, but could tell something wasn't right so disassembled the handle and tightened everything back up.
Anyway, something else for people to be aware of. Speaking of which, I supposed I need to check mine again this spring. LOL
