I've been reading around on this site how to change the lock barrel on a double glazed door and now have an idea how it's supposed to be done. My problem is that the reason I need to replace the barrel is my wife snapped the key off in the lock. I've managed to get the broken key out of the lock but I don't have a spare to use to turn the lock in order to slide the barrel out. I read in another topic about breaking the lock and I'm wondering if this is my only option? But I didn't really understand how this was done.
Can anybody offer some advice as to the best way to approach getting this barrrel out given that I can't turn the key to line everything up prior to sliding it out?
Thanks
