Mend Pvc Door Lock Problem

PVC Door Lock Problem?

Hi,

My front door has a multilock system, it looks like it has 2 small 2 rollers and 2 small hooks on the long strip on the inside of the door.

When the door is unlocked i normaly open the door and the 2 small hooks will lock up into position and stay there until the handle is lifted up, and they would release to lock the door. The hooks wont stay up any more and are constanly in the lock position (always down) so i have to hold the handle down to shut the door.

any ideas what could have caused this?
thanks

Gearbox / MPL failure. Call a locksmith

If the doors is jammed shut expect a charge to overcome mechanism, then quote for whatever needs replacing ie gearbox (if available seperately) or mechanism.
