Possible Causes

Worn hinge pin, broken locking pawl, cracked hinge housing, missing spring in lock mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before working on the hinge or folding mechanism.

  • Inspect hinge area: Look for visible cracks or missing pieces around the pivot.
  • Check lock engagement: Move the handle between positions and listen for a positive click. If it does not lock, the pawl or spring may be broken.
  • Tighten fasteners: If the hinge uses screws or bolts, gently tighten them to remove play, being careful not to strip plastic threads.
  • Replace hinge components: If parts are broken or excessively worn, replace the hinge or lower body assembly as specified by SEBO.
