Reply to "Help with door lock please"

The …striker… is the “pin” attached to the B pillar. It does not move.

The …latch… is attached to the door. The portion of the latch that engages with the striker is the part that moves.

I understand Riley’s …latch… mechanism moves. I was not talking about latch movement.

Reilly said his …key… would not turn.

I just inspected 2511. It does not matter what position the latch is in; a correct key will always turn.

His latch mechanism may well need adjustment.

Also, after 50 years, his key and lock cylinder may be mis-matched.
