ProQ Excel door lock

[clairbare]

Hi all,

Can anyone PLEASE help us out here................the small locking door gear on our Pro is busted and we need a replacement.........anyone have any ideas what we can do??

[Steve]

Have you still got the three parts?

They come off really easily until you get some long nosed pliers in there and fix them up. If you need to get a replacement then I'd suggest you talk to whomever you bought the cooker.

I had one that did that and I fixed as per Steve's suggestion initially. Then I broke mine trying to get it to close tighter.

I untimately fixed it with a cheap door knob from B&Q and a little piece of my sons Meccano.

unfortuantely the door latch, handles and top handle are all very weak on the Pro Q I thought they would have been addressed in the new model but alas no. If you cant get hold of bits to fix it down there I will send you the parts you need.
Cheers

Cool, thanks Toby - I fear that the metal strip on the inside part of the latch is lost forever in a pile of charcoal ash (even though we sifted through it ) , as well as the metal washer - the only part we have salvaged so far is the actual external handle itself - the rest seems to have gone forever! Will email you our address details shortly - thanks again for your help
