April 27, 201014 yr comment_317350 When you pull on the door handle, it activate the push rod, the push rod is adjustable (there is a white plastic nut) by turning the nut. Just re-keyed all my locks and adjusted the push rod today.

If you switch them side to side you can solve your problem.Cheers, Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35660-drivers-door-wont-open-from-the-outside/#findComment-317380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
