As above, and ours has stopped functionning.
However I cannot get the oval(ish) locking barrel out of the door.
I presume it should press out once I have removed the fixing screws behind the cosmetic plate.
The mechanism is a combined latch and lock with that ovalish barrel lock below the handle.
Any help out there?
Somebody done a good tight fit? put a screwdriver/metal bar through the handle hole and give the screwdrive a wack on the metal with an hammer to try and free it.
Sounds more like a Eurolock to me; I assume you know that you need to have the key in place, and rotated about 30 degrees so that the security tongue now clears. Might be tight as well of course
Angles of the tongue can vary. If the lock won't turn, you will probably need to get a locksmith to break the barrel in half using a special tool.
Eurolock, yes it is. It was the tongue that I didn't know about. All sorted now, thank you.
