[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1169582, member: 3187"] No worm gear. Probably the arms sticking on the rubber washer in the slots. Try something slippery in there, try spraying WD40 simply as a test. If that works, wash the WD40 off, then when dry try something like PTFE spray. If you do really need to get to the mechanism, it's a bit of a job getting there. [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20090924/index.php?start=0"]These pics[/URL] of mine might help. This shows the mechanism [SIZE=10px][COLOR=#FF0000](click on image for larger view)[/COLOR][/SIZE] [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20090924/index.php?image=DSCF5562.JPG&sz=1"][IMG]https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20090924/tmp/0_DSCF5562.JPG[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
