The intermittent lock
The recessed lock on this Orakei sliding door would catch on some attempts and miss on others. That usually points to movement in the door, worn internal parts or a strike that is no longer lined up.
What we checked
We removed the recessed furniture, inspected the mechanism and corrected the alignment between the lock and strike. After refitting, the door was cycled and locked repeatedly to confirm consistent engagement.
Avoid forcing sliding hardware
Pulling harder on a misaligned slider can bend or break parts hidden inside the aluminium stile. Adjustment at the first sign of trouble is the safer option.
