Locked out 2013 Anthem

Door handle mechanism has come disconnected. My entry door handle was very stiff and you had to jerk it or pull very hard to open the entry door. Lazy Days adjusted it 3 months ago. It took no effort at all once they adjusted it. We came home last night from camping and my wife pulled the handle to open and it is disconnected. No handle resistance. It will lock and unlock with key pad but handle is disconnected. Entegra suggested a lock smith drill out the key holes but after talking to another tech he said that will not work. I don't have a lock problem I have a door handle disconnected problem. bobcor@zbzoom.net

It sounds like once you get inside you pull the handle mechanism as it sounds like it got disconnected inside

I would call PTL Engineering to see if they can help you get it open and repaired or replaced. They are the suppliers of the doors and lock mechanisms.

I know what you are saying but as a outside chance, is your drivers window unlocked?
If so, maybe a pole can flip the locks and move the handle. Maybe the inside handle still is operable.......just a thought.
Good luck.

Our handle broke in 2017 - the handle just kind of "flopped", but wouldn't open. We were fortunately parked in a lot that also had service - here's from my post at that time:

"They'd been ready to drill (per Mike in CS instructions), when one of their “more seasoned” techs came over with a flat screwdriver. He inserted the blade between the handle and housing and gently pried, and they were able to open the door."

Hope this helps. Thanks,

BG
