I know this an old discussion but the problem still exists with these ranges. The locking mechanism is driven by a very slow, small electric motor. So momentarily moving the knob to 'clean' starts the cycle and causes the latch mechanism to rest in a partially closed position. Since the latch is spring-loaded, the door might lock if closed. Moving the knob to clean causes the motor to fully lock the oven (after about 20 seconds). But then turning it off does not cause it to unlock because the mechanism is not powered in the off position. You have to move it to 'bake' to make the lock mechanism disengage. Very poor design. BTW, Capital (or their contract service company) will sell you a new 'lock-mechanism) for $90+ dollars but it most likely won't solve your problem. However, if your locking-mechanism is defective, note that the new mechanism does not include the temperature switch, which may be your problem. And 2 of the screws won't fit the new mechanism because they do not thread the holes. You'll need new stainless self-taping screws.

If I may: The knobs come off for one of several reasons. #1-The set screws are simply loose, however this usually doesn't cause the knob to "fall" off, it will simply turn in your hand and not open the latch. If you kept turning in one direction it would come off all the way. If this is your symptom look around the "shoulder" of the knob/lever for some recessed flat head or allen head (baldwin)screws. Unscrew the knob just enough to see how the square bar is oriented. Those screws need to tighten down on the flat surface of that bar (preferably facing down, although that is not possible sometimes), so once you see that orientation and know where the screws need to be tightened down at (ie-Baldwin brand would be tightened down at the 4:30(ish) and 7:30(ish) position) you screw the knob up until its tight against the plate, then back it off about a turn. If it is too tight against the rosette/interior trim plate, the latch will not spring back out on its on, and you will have to physically turn the knob so the latch will come out. Sometimes there is not a happy medium between too tight and too loose. There are mylar and brass washers available to take out the slack. #2- Now if those screws are tight and it still doesn't stay on, your looking at spindle (that square bar that goes into the knob) wear or wear inside the knob itself. The screws threads inside the knob do wear out and no amount of set screw tightening will make it hold. At that point you can a new knob, from several places. The cheapest knob sets are only around $5-10 from many home stores/hardware stores/locksmith companies. They look like the old style glass knobs, but are obviously low quality. I have never been real thrilled with them, but it is the most affordable solution. I prefer the real glass antique stuff, and I am not alone. We get calls from all over the country (via our ebay store and website) looking for antique glass knobs. If you unscrew the knob and that square shaft is rounded where the screws tighten down at, then you have a couple of options. Replace that spindle (they are also available, but there are many different variations) or if it seems long enough you can loosen the screws on the other side and screw /unscrew it several threads and re-tighten, then the other side can be tightened down at a different spot on that bar. Washers may be needed as well. If the inside threads of the knob is worn out you are going to need a new knob. If its your front door lock and it has the thumb trim on the outside (antique) you can most likely use those same "cheap" knobs (again, I only suggest these as they are the easiest to find) and just use one of the knobs. The only trouble you would run into is if the shoulder of the replacement knob does not seat in the recess of the interior trim. The spindles on front door locks (with a thumbtrim on the outside) are different than the ones on bathrooms, interior rooms. It is a half spindle and works differently than the other doors with just knobs/levers on each side. They are hard to find/replace sometimes, and I suggest contacting the closest trusted locksmith company for service. Ask your family/friends/neighbors for locksmith reference, NEVER rely on phone book ads. There are too many "scammer" companies listing ads nowadays, and they are guilty of shoddy work and overcharging customers. Make sure and only deal with someone who has done satisfactory work for one of your colleagues. I am new here, so I don't know how the forum works as far as posting pics, but I can get some links up later of the positions of those screws, etc. We do plenty of photography work in relation to our industry. Gotta run to a christmas party now though! I will post them tommorrow assuming its calm enough ;-)

In response 2 Lindac, yes,I did allow myself 2 get pregnat, but its hard 2 say no 2 him cuz he'll give me a guilt trip or go drink & take it out on my son. I would rather just get it over with. I would be on birth control but he won't let me go outdoors at all,not even 2 the doctor.He gets 2 work with my car, he only gets paid when the top is done at the end of the week. The money from welfare goes 2 rent & diapers n stuff. If we have food stamps, he'll pick up food, but we always run out. Usually by the time we run out, he hasn't gotten paid yet. I do buy mixed boxes of rice only b/c I don't have the time or patience 2 make rice from scratch. I do buy alot of fruits & veggies tho. We don't buy any chips,soda,cigaretts or nothing like that. My husband smokes but not me & he buys them himself. I do buy the frozen juice instead of bottles,but it only makes enough 4 about 4 cups of juice. My 1 year old doesn't ever get full from drinking juice or milk all day at all. I don't know why. He used 2 have a very good appetite but now,he just isn't hungry. And there is no way my husband would let me buy powedered milk. He hates it & my kids don't like the taste of it either.As 4 affording the computer & internet,its free. I have a laptop that was given 2 me & I use wireless.For Tegwyn, I am serious. I do understand that baies don't leave u alone,but my 2 year old plays alone just fine,& my 10 year old did also when he was 1. I see LOTS of babies who r NOT this clingy. I have another post under step parents forum called 'abusive stepdad'.That explains my story alittle better. Things r easier now tho b/c I am at a women's shelter & I only have my 10 year old & my 1 year old with me so far. He still has my 2 year old.

I can only say that we have had the Rejuvenation latches for 12 years and I still love-love-love them. No split wood or any other issues, and two of the cabinets get daily use. Ours are on flush inset cabinetry (and we also have one on our bathroom cabinet, with no issues there either). I will say that lining up the latches is important and takes some precision, so I can imagine a GC not being super excited about that. But our cabinetmaker had no problem getting it right, and that's not specific to Rejuvenation's latch design. ETA: We have solid poplar frames with MDF panel inserts for painted cabinets. The material could make a difference?
