Hello to all sorry to revive this but suffice to say that nearly 3.5 years on from replacing last replacement with e febi branded carrier handle, same thing....pull and no joy...
I am plucking up the courage to do the cable fix and maybe even try this russian guys fix, he basically drilled a whole through old carrier and passed heavy gauge wire through to do job cable tie would

One reservation, the larger of the 2 screws one in photo, that goes into the carrier M5X20-KA-8.8, should it be a tight fit into the actual door carrier mechanism or does it simple pass through and 'grab' onto the housing of the keylock cover on the outer side of the door?
