Is it definately the lock and not the handle? The handles have a habbit of braking where they connect to a piece of rod. |

Can you explain whats going on more? So when you put the key in the lock and turn it to unlock it, does it turn to the left as it would when you unlock it? Or does it push againt the key and not allow it? If it unlocks it as it should, it sounds like the door handle is the problem. As Louis said, the metal rods can come off, lose, or break the clip. To me it sounds like a barrel problem though. To fix it you either need to take the barrel off and inspect it, possibly rebuild it. Or get a new lock set. |

well i striped the door right down so everything was loose. covered the whole lot in wd40, but there is a black metal cover that covers the rods and it also is a runner for the window. so i prized that off, and sprayed even more wd40 on the rods and everything. all worked great when it was apart. put it all back together, but the metal cover seemed to stop free moment on the rods. :S so iv just all put the screw half in. the rods space to move. odd really. but all works fine for now!  thanks for your help guys! |
