Sliding will not lock from remote key fob.

[Jimquested]

Hi, my sliding door has stopped locking from central locking remote. All the others door lock and I can manually lock it from the key. The door will however unlock from the central locking remote. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for any advice!

After looking at some threads on here, could this be a microswitch problem?

I searched the forum and found a post about the grease drying up in the lock mechanism. The OP drilled a hole in the plastic case, squirted with 3 in 1 oil and sealed hole with sealant. I purposely didnt use WD40 as this tends to evaporate and you’re back to square 1.

This cured mine of the same symptoms you’re experiencing.
