Ahh ive just re-read this, so when you shut the door does the black know drop on its own ?
now with the door open can you remove the key ?
if yes then when you do this does the knob stay put or drop ?
next with door open close the latch with your thumb to simulate it being closed and locked ,what does the knob do now

oh and take a picky of the slot etc
