I noticed the exterior door lock just turned round and round when you put a key in it and turned. It was the bottom lock. I took the lock apart and saw four loose screws. I used a little locktite and tightened the screws. PS I notice the lock was "Made in China"

My project for this week -- our bottom (dead bolt) lock cylinder appears to have seized up for some reason. Will be taking the door lock assembly apart and hopefully finding an easy problem to fix. Dead bolt works fine from the inside.

Your right, Jim, it is nice to have that extra door on the other side. Until it comes to accesorizing that door.....$150.00 extra to put the step mats, screen door guards for the GD, spring closers, ect., ect. Oh well, it's only money! Just have to back off on the happy hour expenditures!
