Hi,
I have a front door from a manufacturer called homesafe. This morning my wife heard a ping and now there is no spring in the door handles. I have removed the door handles and they are the non sprung type. There is a continuous metal strip along the edge of the door and I removed this but could not fully remove the lock because I couldn't get the barrel out.
I found a piece of broken metal within the lock, so it appears there was some form of spring mechanism on the spindle.
Firstly, how do i remove the lock barrel so i can remove the locking mechanism.
Secondly would it be a more viable option to try and get some replacement sprung handles rather than trying to replace the lock mechanism.
Thanks for any advice
