We have just moved into an appartment where the street door is a frameless glass door with a chrome-plated lever handle and what looks like a standard brass lock cylinder.
Unfortunately the lock was broken and although we can close it we cannot deadlock it.
The handle appears to be fixed to the glass with silicone or epoxy. I am hoping it's the former, not the latter.
Can anyone point me to a site or offer information on how to replace the lock? Do I need to replace the whole handle, or can I simply replace the cylinder?
Also I need to know which brands and models of locking handles will work with this type of door. We are in France, but if we cannot get a suitable one here we can get it shipped mail-order.
The usual requirement for a UK insurer for the main exit door would be a 5 lever mortice deadlock, or equivalent.
Many thanks.
