sm-IMG_3161-snek-oilWhy do my doors not close properly? Some door posts are missing the metal catch, some handle mechanisms are losing their spring, some doors are sagging and not lining up. Tonight I took the handle and mechnism out the kitchen door because the spring is a bit lazy (understandable – it could be over 100 years old).

Didn’t manage to get into the unit to see what could be serviced – I’ll try again when I have more time. Some Brasso for the face-plate at least, so it’s not been a complete waste of time.
