Some erroneous information has been given on changing out the lock plug on the slider handles. It is NOT retained by a roll pin as are the front handles. There is a small set screw in the shoulder of the handle which must be removed. It is frequently not seen, as it is slightly recessed and resembles a spot of dirt. Upon removal, there is a spring at the bottom that returns the lock to center. This must be correctly positioned. Be sure to use some medium strength lok-tite on the set screw upon re-installation. Don't over-tighten the screw. I'd also clean the lock with carb cleaner and re-lubricate it before installation.
