Re: Door lock issue
The wheel is turning farther than designed, from wear on the latch pawl. The excess rotation prevents the lock pawl from engaging. I think they both engage the same part just different teeth on it.
Think of it this way. The lock pawl never holds any force of keeping the door closed or clicking into the teeth as the door closes so it doesn't wear. The latch pawl gets all the wear and allows the teeth to rotate further. The lock pawl has no way of compensating for the excess rotation, it runs into the tooth instead of engaging.
