Patio doors not locking

I have some older sliding patio doors. Recently although when shut, pulling up the handle engages the mechanism, when I try to turn the key to lock the door, the key turns halfway then refuses to turn any further, no matter how hard I try. I removed the euro lock, and noticed that the tab that goes round was quite worn, so I replaced the lock. Unfortunately it still has the same issues. Anyone have any idea what it could be, or any troubleshooting tips.
 
does it operate when out the keep??
if you move or loosen the keep does it help
has the door dropped so keep now needs dropping a few mm
