Default Tourmaster Exterior Door Latch Broke

I had a real scary period last evening when I stepped outside and tried to return to the coach. The outside door entrance handle seperated internally from the inside mechanism. Has anyone had that happen? Fortunately, my wife was still on the inside and was able to open the door.

After getting it open, I porceeded to take the inside handles and other parts off the door to attemt to get inside of it to see what happened and how I might fix it. After taking everything off except the windows, I found that the sides were held to the frame by velcro. I was able to pry it open enough to see everything, but wasn't sure how it worked. I finally found that the outside handle merely sets behind the bottom of the inside mechanism and I was able to put it back in place. Works fine now, but it doesn't look very substantial and I have a fear that it might happen again.

I guess I'll leave a window unlocked for a while to see how it goes. Any thoughts?
