- In this video I show how to repair a faulty UPVC door lock this particular door the barrel had slipped halfway rotation so that the key was upside down and would not remove when the door was locked or open.
Also how to remove or replace the locks if you wish
It is a very easy repair one that locksmiths do not want you to see.
you can buy new key locks from eBay or Amazon they are very easy to replace at a cost of less than £10

WoW Thanks for the tip, really appreciate it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This has happened few times with our door. We do this without taking the handle and lock out. One person stands outside with key and other person inside. Put the keys in at same time and just turn them and wiggle them as shown in this video. After few attempts should resolve. Great video very well explained.
Nice easy fix, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
THANK YOU! This was exactly the fault with my door. I couldn't get the barrel out but shuggled it from both sides with the keys in and eventually got it in the correct position. No cost and a good deal of self satisfaction.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I was about to replace my front door lock. You’ve just saved me money and time. Very informative and much appreciated video. Thank you mate.
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻
@@aaanton11 please can you help me mate I have problem with lock need advice
@@aaanton11 how do you change the lock plus what r those round bolts on the uPVC doors there's 4 of them that hook onto the frame do I need to take them off
This has just happened to me and im very grateful that you put this solution on CZcams. At first I thought it was the barrel so bought a new one but didn't open the packaging. ( So I can return it for a refund tomorrow 😁)
I removed the barrel, found it seemed to work correctly and was starting to think it was the actual door handle mechanism , i think its known as the gearbox .
Then i found your fantastic video explaining the issue and as i watched it, realised that my two were out of sync...
I hope the cool side of your pillow gives you the comfort you require in the coming summer months and that you never stub your toe just before getting into bed ❤

Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You, good sir, are an absolute legend and life saver! Only one thing to say was that I first of all thought that the black lever thing had to be totally at the 6 0'clock position and kept thinking i had it wrong because i could only take the keys out when it was slightly off centre. I then rewatched the video and noticed that this was actually the correct position for it to be in. But thank you, absolutely brilliant video!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Your comment also helped me, thank you
This just happened to my door. You just saved me a load of money. Thank you

Thank you very much, I just fixed our door when my husband couldn't!
well done Helen, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you for the video.
I must say I would never have a key lock on the inside. Only a turn knob, in the event of an emergency you can exit quickly without fumbling for keys.
Yes I see your point, but it also makes for a easy escape for the burglars if they have broken in through a window, if we are in A Key is always left in the door 🚪, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻
@@aaanton11 as a locksmith i can tell you that thumbturns are easily opened from outside with very little skill i personally wont have them on any external door on my home and i always advocate against them
You can also lock yourself out if your forgot your key inside
Fantastic! So glad I came across this video! This was the exact same problem that I had. All sorted thanks to this guide, thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This video was a life saver! Lock buggered up just as we were going to bed! Save me a world of panic and a ton of money! I can’t thank you enough!
Brilliant news, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you for sharing, just fixed mine in 1 minute and didn't even need to remove the handle/cylinder.
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Could you let me know how you did that please. As I am currently having trouble with the Back door lock. I unlocked a door from the outside that was locked on the inside and had keys stuck in it. I eventually got my keys out but I think the Lock is not working properly. Like I have to lock the door to get my key out now. The bars on the lock are acting the opposite way that they should be.
Great vid, fixed the door now I'm getting brownie points and am on a promise off the mrs 😁
Lucky you, although I have not met your mrs 😂, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
More of a threat these days lol 😂 😂
Simply Brilliant! Glad I found your video. Couldn’t turn my key in the lock. Managed to solve the problem with your very clear and simple instructions.Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks John for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Absolute LEGEND! Totally fixed my problem. Couldn't have been easier to fix! Saved me a right headache.
You're welcome! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Top Lad, A Beer for You!!!!
Thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻☕️
We tried this and it’s very important to point out that the barrel lock won’t necessarily be parallel as ours wasn’t doing that, we went to get a new lock only to realise the new lock (black bit in the middle) was not parallel either. It came out slightly to the left (from inside)
So just make sure your key turns out despite it not being level.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Saved us buddy.
Good job!
Door was not releasing the key, followed your instructions and now is as good as new. Really appreciated.
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thankyou messed around with mine for over 1 hour, before i came to your video, sorted in 10 mins. Top man.

Hi Ant, Thank you so much for the video. I had exactly the same problem and removed the three bolts that you removed to try and extract the barrel from the lock/door. For some reason I couldn't get the barrel out, but seeing the method you used to jiggle the keys from either end of the barrel I gave that a go with the barrel still in the lock/door. It worked ! Would never have been able to fix without your video showing me what the problem was and how to overcome it. Thanks again Ant.
Thank you so much for the tip Brad, great result with the door lock 👍🏻 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This happened to our back door about six months ago and I just put up with locking it and having the key stuck in it, because I couldn't find anything online that helped at all. But then the front door just went 20mins ago and I luckily happened upon this vid; Thank you so much, both doors are now fixed, saving me loads of money and stress. I can't thank you enough, top man!!
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This morning I had exactly the same problem, only remove the key when it was locked. I followed what you did and problem sorted, thank very much and I am your follower now.
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for this chief! Have a slighty different door so I couldn't take the lock mechanism out but the jiggling the keys on both sides really helped! Saved myself a load of money and possible grief annoying the landlord!! Thanks

You mate, are a genius ! I drive 50 miles today to try and get a replacement cylinder. Of course nobody stocked it. You sorted my problem in 30 seconds. Hats off to you Sir. 👍
Glad I could help Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
We had been struggling for weeks with our jamming front door key, even having to come in thru the back sometimes. After your video, and only ten minutes later we have a front door that opens like a knife thru butter. Amazing video! Thank you.
Thanks for the great comments, really appreciate you taking the time to respond, makes it all worth while 👍🏻👍🏻🎄
I'm struggling right now the key will not even budge
Thanks for the video, I was all ready to dismantle and possibly replace the lock mechanism, saved me a lot of aggro and probably expense. I'll probably replace the lock cylinder anyway as I suspect that it might do it again, but these are relatively cheap and easy to do.
Thanks John for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Amazing! Huge sigh of relief as you explained the exact cause of the problem as I somehow managed to unlock the door from the outside with the other key in place on the inside. Much appreciated!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
yes yes yes I wiggled the 2 keys as you suggested and it has worked No need to even buy a new barrel. As a woman Im so pleased I 've sorted it on my own with your help . many thanks !

Thank you for door lock video , last night our patio door lock went just like you showed on video, we had planed to call a lock smith out tomorrow, Following your advice with two keys I tried for some time with no success, Because my wife was nagging the way i was doing it , I said in frustration you do it then , My goodness she did it in about a minute 😃 not bad for a girl in her seventies, thanks again for your helpful advice which has saved us time and money. 👍
It just needed a woman's touch, as do most of us 😂, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks so much for this. Exactly the problem after trying to unlock the door whilst another key was in the lock. About to call out a locksmith but thought I would check out CZcams but not with any confidence. It really was as easy as the video even for a complete DIY dunce like me! Thanks again
Thanks for the great comments, this is why I love CZcams, Happy new Year Alan👍🏻👍🏻

Many thanks, having spent a hour and half taking two doors apart I realised the door lock was out of sync, I was about to order a lock when I thought I'd check CZcams for a solution.

My door is only 1 key entry on the outside. It still worked for my door . I was thinking can I do this and yes it worked. I did add some a bit of WD-40 to the barrel. saved me a lot of money. Now I can go out as this was fixed in minutes. Thanks 👍💪
