Great video, my door is locked closed, any advice on how to get the lock out to replace it please. Thankyou

There are a few techniques but I have never tried any of them. Just search for lock bumping or lock snapping and it should show a few methods. I do not know which one works though!

@ultimatehandyman

thanks for that. I have watched the videos you recomended but I am worried about damaging the door. Can the lock be drilled out. Funny thing is I am a cabinet maker but have never used these locks or upvc doors, just wood.

I have heard that you can drill directly below the key hole, which drills out the pins and enables you to turn the latch but I have never tried it, sorry I can't be more help
