First check that your forend latch has spring tension. When you pull the lever out, it should sprin back. There is a small flat spring inside the latch that provides the tension. This could be broke.
The spring does not provide much tension, but just enough to keep thing together.
If the gun is not fooled with at all, the only other thing could possibly be a broke or damaged lock key, which is what the latch engages with and actuall holds the forend iron on.
The other extreme possibility could be that the forend lug could be pulling away from the barrels. Hence effecting the secure lockup of the forend.
