D2 Door Lock Actuator Repair

[dmonares]

Has anyone tried to fix the motors in the actuators like in the D1's? Searched around a bit and couldn't find anyone who has.

Just curious cause I have a bunch of new cheap door locks laying around and would love to fix these things for free. I just haven't had the time with all the snow outside.

I hear ya on the snow issue. glade its melted. ive been working on the ole range trying to gut the interior for some minor to major repair and having it line Xed. to my knowledge no one has. often thought about what it would take to do so. curious to see what people reply.

I've been wanting to tear apart one to try and see if there is a fix for it, but don't want to rip a door apart and not know how long it will take to repair. I've been looking for a broken one which is cheap enough where ripping it apart and not finding a fix isn't going to tick me off, but no luck yet.

Well I will let you guys know this weekend because I am gonna tear into one.

good luck, try to not break the plastic case... thats what always stopped me...

I am gonna buy new ones today and play with the old ones and see if I can get them fixed.

I tried this and once I got it opened up, I laughed out loud and bought a replacement.. they are not worth the headache...

unless you have a degree in mechanical engineering, these German engineered marvels should be sent to a clock repair place to be fixed..

Well, I do have mech engineering degree. Here is a link to a message that I posted about fixing one of mine. I need to fix all the other now as I only have one working at the moment.

I ordered two from Atlantic British with two day delivery this morning. Hopefully I will have some new ones by Friday but I doubt it because I haven't received a tracking number yet.
