Hi,
I've moved into a house which has a Siegenia PSK tilt & slide door - must be around 10-15 years old, which didn't close properly. With some exploded diagrams, I found one of the lower bogeys had come unscrewed and the top gliders needed replacing. All fixed!
However, I still find the door does not spring out very evenly. I've seen 'leading bogey springs' on the web, but I am convinced this will not fit on my door.
Example: http://www.handlesandhinges.co.uk/siegenia-aubi-psk-patio-door-leading-bogey-springs/
This appears to fit a different Siegenia mech (looks like pressed steel; mine looks like a casting) Instead I have nothing on the front bogey, but a strange bit of metal on the trailing bogey that looks like it should do something important in swinging out the door.
Based on the first two photos attached, does anyone recognise what the circled metal strip should do? Currently it just flaps around, pinned at one end.
Perhaps my age of Siegenia doesn't generate a lateral force to help push out the door, but it seems a bit naff if you have to grab the door frame to get it to clear the lock pins.
Thanks for your help!

Leading bogey - if it helps identify the door type/age!
