Two possible options:

1) most likely a spring has broken in the catch. Replace it.

2) possible something is preventing it from latching. Less likely.

Is it supposed to spring back when a push the catch like in video or should it stay in the closed position?

With the catch fully open use a screw driver and push against the back of the latch moving arm so as too close it, half way closed you should hear a click (half shut) keep pushing and you should hear another click (fully closed) if it does not stay closed you may have broken the finger inside the unit, this what happened to mine, to get the rods out just use a small flat blade screw driver inbetween the rod and the latch casing and pries apart they are bent at 90 degrees and held in with a little steel clip hope this helps

Lube it !

This is sooooooo common, meeeeeeh.


Spray something better than WD40 into the mechanism.

Good luck, Kay
