Many thanks for posting this … very useful and a big thumbs up from me! 👍 I had the same problem and took the gearbox apart to find at least two broken internal parts! I ordered a replacement and refitted back together … success! Thanks again 🙏

Good one ! Ithanks , I expect those PINS take a real beating over the years ,,, thanks for digging so deep on this !!, great info

Thanks for uploading this. My UPVC door locking mechanism stopped working today. Replaced the central part from local locksmith. Only problem I had was, I found out which lock it was from google, rang local shop who said they had it in stock. When I got to the shop, they asked is it the smaller deadlock or larger, of course i didn’t take the faulty one with me, and of course I had the cheaper one. Wrong. So back again to get the smaller one, but more expensive. Moral of the story is always take the old one for comparing. Still cost me just under £50, and job satisfaction.

Excellent tutorial but I would add one word of caution. The screws which retain the locking strip into the edge of the door are self tapping and screw directly into the PVC. It is important to get these screws very straight as if they are only slightly off centre they can foul the sliding mechanism.

Good job, but I couldn't watch you using the power screwdriver when screwing things back, you can very easily strip these plastic threads. I'm up for the same job, will do everything manually, plus will lube the screws before putting them back in just in case.

Hi very nice informative video. i have a similar issue but with the lock part that comes out into the door frame side after turning key to lock the door . On inspection , the slot (vertical -rectangular in shape)inner edge which seems to contain an inner layer of some material has bent forwards into the cavity , preventing /blocking the latch part that moves into slot with key is turned to lock the door. Any possible solutions for this . Many thanks.

If the key turns and you can hear a faint click then it is a mechanism issue if the key keeps spinning then it could be either but usually a mechanism problem, if the key wont turn at all then it is a cylinder,if it turns a bit it could be either.
