Hi guys, I recently noticed that my bathroom door lock didn't feel quite right and I was concerned maybe it was getting worn. So I've decided to replace it.
I purchased this lock and fitted it today...

The only issue now is the previous lock 'rod' which has a small handle and nut on each end is not fitting securely. The handle (which is like a T shape item) doesn't stay on the end of the rod, I'm not sure how to make it stay.
I am concerned that it will come off and someone will end up locked in the bathroom!
So...If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful.
I assume I might need to purchase a new lock "rod" and small handle set but I'm not sure where to get it from? Also when I do get it, how do I ensure the rod and handle fit securely.
Please excuse if this isn't clear, I'm not sure what the right terminology is.
I'm hoping this image may help...
