Door wouldn't open this morning

I have a Thor Class C Chateau 29G. When I tried to go outside this morning, I couldn't open the coach door. Both locks felt and sounded like they were working, but the door wouldn't budge. After trying for a couple of minutes, I shimmied out the front can door and got a screwdriver from my toolbox. I came back in the same way and took out the three phillips head screws from the lock/handle assembly. I was able to then open the door by shifting the innards away from the edge of the door.

Once open, I could see that the lock and deadbolt were both working. Investigating more, I found that one of the security bolts at the edge of the door with star/torx heads on them had come loose and was sticking out a tiny bit more than it should. I have torx bits in my toolbox, so I tightened both security bolts. I reassembled it all and it is now working. Yay!! We won't have to shimmy in and out of the front doors the rest of the trip.

Just a heads up on one more thing to pay attention to.
