After a successful AAZ turbodiesel conversion & tons of problemsolving, I
have to admit I'm baffled by my '83 Westy's sliding door. I went to unlock
it last week, something sent "snap" and the door wouldn't open. The inside
lock button functions ok, the outside handle rotates, but nothing I do
actuates the latch. I have the panel and the lock cover off, and I'm pretty
sure the problem lies in the front lock/latch mechanism, but unless I can
get the door open I can't pull the mechanism out. I even had the local
(small town) locksmith out to take a look -he just scratched his head and
said "duuuuh." No door, no camping- and the weather finally turned nice!
 This is my second post with this problem - please, if someone understands
these locks, tell me what to do next! Thanks a billion, David.
