Takeuchi door handle replacement

[a5t1]

Good morning all,

I'm slowing repairing the new-to-me TB53FR. I do have all the manuals, however, I don't see how the outside door handle is supposed to actuate the assembly. Has anyone else had to replace one? Am I missing something on my door assembly?

2 rods...one to lock barrel. One to handle.

Right, got that - thanks. However, look at the outside door handle. It seems part #4 should catch the rod some how - when assembled it doesn't. I'll take a few closer, updated pictures tonight.

My mistake. Tore open door today. #4 pushes zinc colored square on control assy.

One rod is lock cylinder to control assy. Other rod is control assy to latch.

Thanks a lot for those pictures, that answers my question. My door lock assembly (part 7) is missing the arm that the handle (4 and 13) contacts to open the assembly. <sigh> one more order should get the door working. Thanks all, appreciate it!

You can see on the old one which piece was missing. Hope this helps someone else.
