Richard71 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Does anyone know of any trader who can repair a door lock from a TR6? If I need to buy a replacement lock is it possible to have it altered to suit my existing key? Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard71 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 This is a replacement matching lock set from Moss fitted a few years ago, this particular lock was never working correctly, feels to me like theres too much play in the mechanism and doesn't engage properly.

Richard71 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Thanks Stuart, I have those locating plates fitted and holding the locks firmly in place. The problem is definately with the lock itself, it needs repairing or replacing. Richard. My lock doesn't have the black clip as seen in your photo above, is that an essential component, could this be my problem?

I think that missing clip would probably be the problem, I thought I had an old spare lock here but I cant find it now unfortunately. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Looking at a new one I have here, that spring clip just keeps the pin in place that stops the barrel from spinning. So if the clips is missing and the pin has migrated out I think it would be your problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Stuart When you install those security fittings do you bother to remove the original spring blade retention device? dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I contacted WBH who manufacture the locks and unfortunately they're unable to help with a repair or supply a replacement clip. However I found a locksmith who ma be able to help. Richard.
