Pinpoint Test N: Hard To Open/Close Door From Either Door Handle

Normal Operation

The door latch can be actuated from the interior or exterior door handle. When actuated, the door latch releases and allows the door to open. If the door latch or the door hinges have insufficient lubrication or if the striker or door are misaligned, it causes extra force to be used when opening or closing the door.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Door alignment
- Door hinges
- Striker adjustment
- Door latch
