REVISED REPLY WITH ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
I had the same or similar problem with a Trimark lock mechanism. Nothing was broken, it required adjustment using a deep 7/16 socket to turn a nut through the hole in edge of door. I contacted Trimark and described my "paddle type" lock mechanism. The technician sent me illustrated instructions via e-mail, text as follows:
"Nut Adjustment for BOTH Foam Core and Metal Door
1. Close the rotor (door?)
2.Lock the handle from the inside using the lower manual lock lever.
3.While pulling up on the inside handle, manually (No power)turn the nut clockwise until the latch releases.
4. Manually turn the nut counterclockwise 1+1/4 to 1+1/2 turns
5. Unlock the door and open door from the inside handle. The latch should release before the inside handle reaches maximum travel.
6. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE INSIDE HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN THE DOOR WHEN IT IS LOCKED."
Somewhat confusing, I had to try this a number of times until it worked. Good luck!
