Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Any ideas where I can get replacement parts for this?

Don't think they've ever been on. The door shuts and engages on the C post but won't lock at the B post. That metal casing on the second pic looks hollow, like it's missing something.

Off for a few more pics now.

Hang on a minute..... Just remembered I have some sliding door parts that were posted to me in September 2011. I thought it was just the top runner part but it turns out to be the parts I need :D (or didn't need as I already had them)
