URGENT ish removing rear door lock

[weeds]

pulled the lock mechanism off and went ohh wonder how you get the barrel out......

the web tell me to insert the key than push the plunger in and a wiggle or too and she comes out

I happen to have the broken part of the key so I push this in and push the plunger in and……………nothing, the barrel isn't keen on coming out. I than push the key in a little further....opps not sure I should have done that as I tried tapping the mech and now the Broken key is stuck. I have been able to rotate the barrel with a screw driver but this has stopped as well

Sooo how do I get the barrel out??

What happen if I grind the two spot welds off and separate the casing? Will I be able to get the barrel out??

[dingsy]

You could drill it out? but you'd need to get a new barrel matched to your other locks then. I had to drill them out in a perentie but I was replacing all the barrels at the same time anyway.

I'm in the process of fitting new barrels.......if I drill out the barrel am I likely to damage the pin that holds the barrel in?? Or what ever retains the barrel??

[dmdigital]

Been through this myself. The reason for inserting the key is to allow the barrel to turn as there is a small foot. There is also a hole on the side . I'll be back soon with some pics of my old one.

Oh bother I've thrown it out. Anyway have a look for a small hole on the side of the housing. Can't recall if there was a grub screw to undo or I just used a wire to hold it in place. Also I recall pressing down and turning the key. I do remember think how easy it was once I had done it.

Yep there is a small hole with a pin/plunger. It was sorta flush with the housing than I pushed it in. Problem is I only had a broken key to work with........silly me hadn't bothered to get a second set cut at time of purchase

[dingsy]

No damage when I did it ,you just want to drill the pins, then you can rotate the barrel and pull it out as above. Don't go deeper than the pins. I think I read a thread on here somewhere that had a guide of sorts.

Don't worry about the key as you're trying to turn the entire barrel not lock/unlock it. You're just using it to hold the barrel.

I also read that you can wiggle the lock lever on the inside and you can line up the unlock button. Worth a shot first I reckon

Been trying that......

Mine was full of red dust,CRC/WD40.Gave it a good soak in hot water with detergent which eventually freed the lock barrel up.

Nothing wrong with the barrel.....it was working fine until no.1 son broke the key

[dingsy]

Just drill out the pins, push the button down and pull out with long nose pliers. If you already have other barrels you can tape the drill bit depth based on the pin depth of the new ones. Worked for me with no keys on all 3 doors.

Off to have a looksee

More arse than class with the drill.......could get the last bit out which has the detent in it so I ended up pushing it inside the mech

Now it was raining and I just wanted it back together however I think, if you have a key than turn to the lock position to line the stent up with the hole, this kinda makes sense as you can than use the key to pull on the barrel

Ignition tomorrow arvo

[weeds]

you wouldn't believe it......but I have to pull the brand new lock out

why you ask.......well

when looking on line you have the option of 3 x keyed alike or 5 x keyed alike locks...........yep you guys that are switched on will be right onto it.....me however, not so switched on. silly me orders the 3 x keyed alike as I thought two front doors and the rear door and was really happy with last night work until.........

I pull into the servo this morning to fill up with diesel and guess what............I soon realised why you need five locks, I assuming the fifth is for the cubby box....only just thought of that now

if only I needed fuel before I ordered the locks
