PV: Door Lock Problem

[Ponvanman]

Hello, did do a search of the forum but cant find what I'm looking for.
I have just bought and fitted a new latch return spring which now works fine. Unfortunately I think I may have inadvertently done something to the lock ? The lock barrel now comes out with the key when I lock it ?? How does the lock mechanism fix into the lock hole in the door so to speak ? If I can get it out I may be able to work it out.
Many thanks.

If you pull back the door seal in the vicinity of the lock you will see a screw hole. there should be a small screw which you screw in until it bears on the flat section of the lock barrel. You may have lost the screw.

Thank you for that. I'll have a look later.

Thanks from me as well. Now my lock stays put.

Yep, managed to get whole lock out. My next issue is how do I get the barrel out of my new lock to change the key levers to the old ones so I continue to have one matching key. Any advice /ideas ??
Many thanks

Did you not get a set of keys with the new lock?

Yes, there will be a set of keys with it but I want them all to continue to match so intend to swap the levers out of the old lock into the new lock but cant workout how to get the lock barrel out of the new lock ??

I believe that there is a cotter pin which has to be drilled out but i could be wrong. You can just make it out on the flat. also on other side. Others may know better than me

PS it may be this pin

Cant see any pins on my old one ?? May have to put up with a non matching key !
