Pella Door won't lock (3 point lock)
So I starting looking into the failure of my 3 point door locks and heard a clanking when trying to put them into the locked position. I realized that the "shootbolts" were slamming against the side of the door. Why?  Was there an internal jam?   A broken parts.  

Turns out there is a small bottom plate with a hole that receives the shootbolt (pic attached)  It was full of debris!  I cleaned it out and the locks worked fine again.  Easy as that.  But I almost overlooked it because I had a previous mind-set about what was wrong and what the fix was. Sometimes I just make it too hard. Lesson learned:  Look for the easy/simple stuff first.  

I hope someone else benefits from the post and that I did it properly.
