That brings on a back-in-the-day story.
A good friend of mine's wife called me one night and said that the latching/locking mechanism on her front door wouldn't work, the door couldn't even close. Since her husband was in China on business, she feared for herself and her 3 children.
Of course, I came to the rescue with my tool box. After a couple of drinks, I started in on this project. Dang, what a complex mechanism. I disassembled the whole mechanism and carefully laid out all the pieces in a line, in order, across the hall floor.
She offered me another drink, so I had two. Meanwhile, one of the twins (about 3 years old) decided to help me out by pushing all the pieces into a pile. Shit, that called for another drink.
After about an hour, I finally got it figured out, fixed and put back together, so it would close and lock.
I guess I should have drawn a picture -
