Early sliding door lock removal

Post by badgerfax »

Evening all, some advice required please.

I have just acquired a replacement early sliding door handle but need to replace the barrel.
I can not see any grub screw just the top of a pin that does not appear to go all the way through.

Any tips to getting this out and freeing the barrel.

It sounds like that could be the grub screw. You need a tiny allen key to get it out.

Ok finally had some time to look at these locks.

The barrel from my damaged handle came out fine as there was a tiny grub screw as advised. Was a really small slot head.

The replacement handle has no key so I want to swap barrels. The problem is the other handle has no grub screw. I had a dig about with a pin to clear the crud out and can find no means of removing the pin. Any ideas before i muller it with a drill.

The sides of the hole show no signs of a thread and its a larger diameter hole than the other handle.
Would be good to hear from someone who has done this before.
Cheers
