Sliding door cabin lock

Post by butch »

HELP! After over 40 years with no maintance my lock set failed. It’s a older 35 with sliding doors, got it out without breaking any thing. Can’t find any marking to show manufacturer and have a broken spring. Headed to local locksmith but would consider replacing entire Assembly if I can find one, not feeling the love at hi tides . I’ve seen a bunch of 35’s with a hasp and padlock and don’t want to go there.

On my 33 a few years ago, I had to take my lock apart as it was freezing up on me. When it was apart, I cleaned everything up & coated everything with Corrosion X and it's been silky smooth since then. Once you find a new spring maybe try the same as I did. Al
