Anyone ever had trouble with the their door solenoid getting caught in the wire to the central locking relay?On 2 occasions now my lock has become hard to open with the key, as if there is more pressure than normal on it.Both times i have taken the door apart and dis and reconnected the solenoid and this has worked for about 3 weeks.Then the locks become hard to open again.IMO the solenoid must be getting caught in the wire with movement.Anyone else any similar experiences?

you might want to check the fixing screws for the solenoid.
