While watching Tombstone I went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee during a commercial break when this happened; too lazy to get a screw driver. Well, that’s pretty much it.
Thank you @rar1001! This helped me fix mine in a matter of minutes (so easy), AND I didn’t have to order a new door key because that was actually intact. Looks like the topmost plastic(!) ledge that holds the top part of the door key had broken off, but there’s no way to reattach that. As you show, however, as long as the bottom part and the spring are attached, it works. The most eye-opening part to me was that the spring attaches to the ladder-type thing on the side. None of the other videos showed that. Your solution is the best hack to avoid having to order an entirely new door. And I agree, the fact that these components are breakable plastic deserves an eye-roll. And great soundtrack :)
Thanks! I ordered the door key thinking it was that part and then realized it was this issue. Your fix was easy and free! Returned the other part the next day.
