  • In the latest thrilling instalment of lockgate, I’m unable to move the locking bar back down to its unlocked position. It feels like it’s catching on something where the cylinder used to be but I can’t see where. I’ve removed the lock cover but there’s nothing obvious. I’d really like to start putting this back together before I have the whole bloody thing in pieces on the patio!

  • Sounds like you removed the cylinder whilst the mechanism was locked. Or the lock is actually fucked. On most locks, the cylinder cam picks up and moves a bit left/right to unblock the mechanism

    Use a cylinder which you have a key for and try unlocking it.

  • Ha yeah it took longer than I care to admit to realise what I'd done! Put the old cylinder back in and managed to force it round with a screwdriver.
