-   Hey maltby, does your outside handle spring back into place after it has been pulled. Mine will not. I've been told that its the linkage on the handle that's broke. Now I need an Idea of how to remove the panel. Did you have to break any part of the panel to get it off? Are you able to see the handle linkage now that the panel has been removed? -   mjmoro315
