DB- i had to straighten the latch rod as it had a slight bend in it. If it remains bent, it won’t unlatch and won’t consistently latch. The springs were ok, but I cut and stretched the return spring to get more tension. I also tightened the latch handle bolt *slightly* and lubed the fiber washers as the handle was cocked slightly and wouldn’t unlatch. Tightening the bolt kept the handle straight. Hope that helps.
