Temperature dependant sliding door closing!

Right, I'm confused (again!).

Sliding for works spot on, as long as it's warmer than about 5 degrees out. If it's colder than this, it doesn't catch, so as you shut it, it just pops open again.

Everything still seems to work as it should at the lower temperatures, (the catch end locks over fine by hand) so I'm confused (and cold!)

Any thoughts?

Mine does the opposite when it's cold it won't open. :roll:

Lube up all the mechanism, the grease is causing it to stick at lower temps I expect

Thanks, I'll give it a clean and lube it up, seee if I can achieve a smoother action (stop sniggering....)
