I changed my barrel lock a while ago it was fine, till i got to work where i needed to lock it and low and behold it didnt lock!!!
Its still not really working i have to lock it from the inside and climb over to the passagers side....not a good look!
Anyone fixed their lock before and can help me out with anything? The latch is connected but the key doesnt turn in the door, think this could be the barrel again!?
Any ideas would be really appriciated!!

Your having fun with that lock!  Right key?  Any evidence of someone pushing a screw driver into the lock? Try a dose of WD40 to try a free up the locks teeth. |

is the locking link bar attatched on the inside of the door its often the case when people push the bar back on to ensure the clip devise locks,being difficault to do it only goes part way on then after a couple of operations it unclips its self and then your stuck in exactly the situation you are in where the internal lock works and outside does not
unfortunately this means you do have to remove all the door card and pockets and levers to gain access to the insides .
hope this is helpful
regards shawn

If the key turns but does nothing, Shawn's on the right lines. If the key won't turn it's a lock problem. Will you be at club nite tomorrow? Martin.

Sounds about right, i did try and give it ago again but the latch seemed to be still connected which is what confused me in the first place. I pretty much gave up after about an hour of fiddling and staring at it, tea in hand.
, see what happens!
