lil-minx92 Â Â 10 #2 Posted December 18, 2018 Try EuroCell on Rutland Road. Drop by with the pics. I did that and they found what I needed to replace it. Even manged to fit the new one myself. Easier than I thought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

spider1   11 #5 Posted December 18, 2018 Easy job  Look on side of door were block comes out  There is a small screw take it out  Put key in lock in upright position and it will all pull through  Take lock to Harolds or similar or B - Q  sell them about £20  make sure you get same length as there are 2 lengths  Put back same way Cheers spider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ttparsons   10 #6 Posted December 19, 2018 As Spider 1 says, but on one side of a pair of patio doors there is the overlapping panel which needs to be removed to get to the lock bolt.  It’s just a few screws.  If the lock bolt is seized and won’t turn , give it a light tap with an impact driver.  Euro locks come in different lengths to accommodate different door thicknesses.  You measure from the bolt hole to the outside of the lock, which should be flush with the handle, and similarly for the inside.

tedrodgers   10 #11 Posted December 20, 2018 hi spider,  just want to check, have you looked at the new pics? im pretty sure asda dont sell these types of locks. i know they may sell the cylinder lock section where the key fits in but thats not the part thats broken.  i went up to wickes earlier but they didnt have anything like this lock/mechanism. the only ones they had were much too deep to fit in my door. as you can see by my new pics its only about an inch deep.  ill try a locksmiths.  thanks.
