Locked Sliding Door Lock Issue

ANT5 · 2026-05-30T13:07:04+0100

My wife lost the key for the sliding door and I have removed the cylinder but the door won’t open. The lever won’t move. Within the door where the cylinder was I see a horizontal screw that is possibly connected to the frame.

How can I open tbis door to fit the replacement cylinder

Thanks

Did you drill the lock out?

I snapped it with mould grips

You need to rotate the central driving tab thing..
I've seen it done but never watched how.
Lock was snapped..
Then a few seconds fiddling inside it all opened..
