Gentlemen,

A question please. The barrel in my boot lock has decided not to lock the boot.

Before I buy a complete assembly can someone advise me on how to remove the old barrel please?

Thanks in advance

Hi Graham,

First remove the nut at the rear and pull the handle outwards.

Hold the chrome bezel as is a loose fit item and will fall off.

The lock barrel is held in place by an offset steel pin at the root, punch this out and the barrel can be removed by wiggling the key.

The square steel locking bar will also drop out.

The usual cause of a failure is the eccentric operating pin cast onto the end of the barrel either shear off or wear down, the photo shows a rather worn pin.

I think the new lock barrels are an all steel casting.

Regards, Richard

Richard,

Thanks for your reply and pictures. Relief that is an ordinary pin, had a feeling it may have been a Roll Pin.

Hi Graham,

It is not clear if the locking mechanism is working or not, but I had an issue where the lock engaged but the handle still turned.  There was an issue with the housing/bezel that the lock teeth fit into - it was not holding into the boot metal skin and the whole thing turned.  Maybe worth a check?
