Sliding Door Mechanism

[lian]

Having had our 1981 2.0l Aircooled camper restored the man who is carrying out the work has run into an issue with the sliding door.
It does not lock - from the outside or inside.
I am a numpty with all this (but learning fast). He says that the latch mechanism seems to work with two 'latches' but is only latching over once, not twice.
I would be everso grateful if someone can direct me to thread where the latching mechanism is discussed in detail or if anyone can offer any guidance as to why the door will not lock.

Thanks in advance.

Yes indeed, theres the lock, and theres the pin just inside rear of door on the bodywork which may need repositioning in order to get satisfactory closure of the door. Unless the door engages with this pin it will simply fly open, locked or not.
