mine is 'worn'/faulty, but how to get the thing out ? Do I have to remove the long brass 6 foot strip that runs the length of the door ? Many screws and 3 'shoot out' bolts as well. Are these standard locks I can get from (where). Any advice please

    Take a range of decent pictures with a digital camera / camera phone from various angles and head to your nearest B&Q / Homebase / DIY shop. The sales assistants should be able to advise you by looking at the pictures of the lock.

    Do you know the make and model? If so, consult the manufacturer or installer.

    Usually the parts are bought in by the installers.

    If you mean a euro cylinder style lock, then have a look at the video clip down below.

    A good replacement is a Cisa Astral S as it's a 10 pin lock with anti bump technology.
