Swapping door locks over

[Graeme]

The drivers side of my cars lock is siezed. I am currently having to lock the door by using the passengers side. Can I just swap these locks over? There is central locking so would this cause a problem?

Why not just buy a barrel lock kit, not to expensive. You could just swap over the barrel from the N/S to Drivers side, but only the barrel as part of the mechanism will be on the wrong side.

I take it by the wrong side you mean it will turn the opposite (or wrong) way to lock? Where can I pick up this barrel lock kit?, thanks for your help

On the back of the lock there is a plastic clip. a small rod clips in to this.
so you need the right side. For a barrel lock go to a main dealer, or if an old car, a breakers yard, scrap yard.

Thanks Quick Fit...I was able to fix the lock by simply spraying wd40 into it, it works as new now. To think for 6 months I have been using the passengers door to open/lock it every time
