Lock out

Anybody else been locked out of their FR3? The door lock started acting up yesterday and wouldn't let me out. Finally after fighting it the lock released and I was able to open the door. Today it wouldn't let me in and after toying with it for half an hour I had to call roadside assistance to come open it up.

Could the problem be one of those defective locks there was a recall on a while ago?

I had the same problem had to have assist come out and get me in. F.R. sent me a whole new lock system which I installed and sent back the old one. So far this new one works good.

Fixed mine by replacing hinge screws with rivets.
