Argosy Motorhome door lock question
We have a 1978 24' Argosy Motorhome with the original door handle/lock that has given us problems over the years. Not sure of the model, but assume it's a Bargman L-300. The most current ongoing issue is that to properly close the door, or open it from the outside, we need to push on the door with one hand while pulling back on the handle with the other. Husband has recently taken the lock out to clean and check for lose parts and found that there is a groove that runs along the width of the bolting mechanism/shaft. He thinks that the groove was created from friction and wasn't there originally. But it looks to be too uniform for that so another option is that a previous owner long ago put the groove there or it was always there. I've attached a couple of pictures. Can anyone let us know if that groove is supposed to be there? If you could take a look at yours (it's visible without removal) and let us know, it would be much appreciated
