Good idea. I'm going to remove them and see if there is something obvious. There has been some squirrelly stuff I found over the years from previous owners. Right now, neither the lock nor the knob will lock it when its latched. It will lock no problem with the lock or knob when open. I'm going to clean it up and lube it and take a look at the rods and see if that will help

Thanks for your insight.
