[Zmagnette] door checks

[Fletcher Millmore]

They have an opposing pair of flat spring-fingers which grab the link, 
as a friction slide. At the extreme of travel, there is some sort of 
positive detent operated by these fingers; too long since I looked, but 
it will be a notch or hole in the link, and possibly a roller that is 
the actual detent. All of this is mounted inside the door - you can see 
the flat fingers behind the rubber draught excluder (assuming you have 
any rubber left). In any case, Lubriplate (white grease) is the standard 
lubricant, smeared on the link.
