The handle has a spring in it, but I don't see how that would hold it shut. The top and bottom hooks engage, but will bounce loose. Spring seems intact, is something else suppose to be in there? Is anything suppose to move in the handle? I have unscrewed the handle and pulled both top and bottom bars out. I can't even see what the spring is doing. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Not sure if your 46 is like my 52 but it seems like the left door would need a catch at the top and bottom??
Check out the online manuals listed in the Links or tech tip section here and see if it list anything on your model..... and I'm sure someone else, who knows, will be by shortly. Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 72 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 72 | Yes there is a catch at top and bottom, but what holds it in place? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 72 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 72 | I guess I am having a little problem indicating my issue. I do have hooks top and bottom that the rod hooks grab. That works. But there is a spring in the handle between the top and bottom rods. I don't see where that is accomplishing anything. Is this suppose to hold the rods in the closed position? Because mine do not. Vibration will just let my rod hooks unleash. I am guessing I need help from someone with a 46 or similar. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Not sure if yours is listed but did you check the online manuals. Maybe someone with your model will chime in..... | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 244 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 244 | On the '46 there is a torsion type spring located inside the pot metal handle that keeps pressure on the hooks at the end of the rods. Part # 466851 (2 1/4") I believe. | | |
