Habitation Door Locks Forums

I've recently bought a replacement habitation door handle assembly for my Swift 630L (2003) as I was unable to lock it using the key due to worn components inside. From the outside the handle is square in shape with a vertical door opening pull and a horizontal flap over the lock (just to help recognise which model it is!).

I'm having difficulty transferring the existing lock barrel to the new handle as I don't want to resort to extra keys with a new lock. The handle came with an insert where the lock goes, which has a 'blade' sticking out the bottom which is the part which fits into the interior part of the handle.

By removing an 'e' clip I have removed the lock/insert/blade assembly,but I can't see a way of taking the lock barrel off the old insert/blade to fit it to the new one. There does seem to be a series of grooves on the old one, but nothing seemingly to take it apart.

Has anyone got any tips for removing the lock barrel, please?

Hi Andy,

Have you tried inserting the key and turning it? It may just come out sitting on the key then.

Yes I've tried using the key like that, but no joy!
