Door handle stiff / gets stuck

CoffeeCake · 2026-08-15T21:00:29+0100

A multi point for handle is very hard to operate. If I use force, I can get it going but otherwise it feels like it's stuck. This is with the door open. I have tried replacing the handle with a new one and that has not made any difference. Linking a video so you can see what is happening. Thanks in advance.

The gearbox is failing and will ultimately need replacing, with the handle pushed down spray some WD it the latch and see if it makes a difference, won't fix it but if it makes it better then you know you'll need a gearbox

I have tried spraying multiple times everywhere..latches and all openings. Doesn't make a difference. Is it easy to replace the gearbox?
