    No, just a new gearbox or mechanism

    Don’t you need to open the door to get to the gearbox?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Try lifting the door with a bar slightly, try and get a thin blade between door and frame to move the latches up or down.
    Most probably hinges have needed adjustment and slowly the door has dropped
