    Kevin provides instructions for adjusting a door handle mechanism. The instructions include removing the upholstery to access the inside door handle, unlatching the door and rotating the handle to remove the actuator rod, turning the rod counterclockwise half a turn to lengthen it, and reinstalling the rod while checking if the outside handle is flush in the locked position, which may require additional turns of the rod. The summary warns that more than three full turns of the rod indicates more serious bending issues requiring different repairs.

    Kevin O'Halloran's Instructions

    1. Remove upholstery from the door which exposes the inside door handle
    mechanism (you can see it through the small triangular opening) - if you can't do
    this without screwing things up - STOP NOW.
    2. To make the next step easier, unlatch the door, rotate handle to the closed
    and latched position while the door is open. This will make it easier to get the rod
    off. Use a screwdriver or needle nose pliers to pry the keeper arm forward and up
    so that you can slide the actuator rod off the shaft.
    3. Turn the rod counterclockwise 1/2 turn. This makes it longer.
    4. Push the keeper out of the way and reinstall the rod on the shaft.
    5. Actuate the inside door handle to the locked position and see if the outside
    handle goes flush. If it does not - try another turn on the rod.
    6. If someone has tried to force the door open and bent things up - it is a whole
    new set of problems. If it takes more than 3 full turns it is more than a simple
    adjustment.
