Locksmith Forest Gate said they weren't much help really, and suggested a Cisa Hook Lock, but the problem with that is the backset is only 16mm. Does anyone have any suggestions please? If the worst comes to the worst I'll see if it's practical to replace the 'bolts', and then lubricate the lockcase mech some more.

Had ones like this in the past and always opted to repair and make good as they are such a pain to get hold of. I have used coach bolts as replacements and adjusted/adapted the keeps to suit. Sounds like the lock is a Adams Rite, try duffels.

I have done the same as jay using 6 mm bolts (gutter bolts) then flooded the mechanism with wd 40.may have to file the heads of the bolts slightly to get them to suit.

Hope this helps. Will suggest to the Customer that I repair the lock, and fit new bolts, and lubricate/service it earlier this evening was locking a upvc door on a vacant property after an inspection when whilst holding paddle up only managed to turn around 180.

Then key and plug jammed, tried lifting door whilst attempting to turn key either way no luck plug refusing to move making it impossible to remove key Question eventually broke key, have access to property via back door is the spreader the best option Question thanks.

From what you said, it sounded like the cylinder is knackered. Maybe the cam has come loose a bit, then jammed. I'd drill it and try and turn the plug, then work the handle. If the cam is jammed, this probably won’t work, but worth a try. I'm guessing the mechanism itself is fine.

If that doesn't work, handles off and snap the lock to get it out, then test the mechanism with a cam-turner. If it's working, put a new lock in, but make sure you re-pin it first, to the orignal bitting on the broken key (That last bit is a joke). If it's not working, plate or air-bag it open. Let us know over here at the locksmith Forest Gate how you get on.

Got called to a job today, UPVC window would not open when lifting the handle. No doubt a broken follower so not a big job to get it open then replace lock mechanism? Got to job and it was a small square bathroom window, about 600 x 600mm. Handle just flopped up and down but was attached okay.

Took handles off and found that the lock case had broken in two, and the follower just pulled out in two bits as well as some other broken pieces. Put a wire in to feel if I could pull back the lock but no go. Window was sealed air tight so couldn't get anything around and under the vent to try and pull back the rollers?

Okay, so next is the beading and glass, and then manipulate the rollers out of the keeps? Checked an identical working window in the locksmith Forest Gate workshop and found that the rollers lock into the keeps like a coach bolt and there was also shoot bolts to each side, and a bottom bolt!
