That was brilliant! My lock has started to play up today and I was worried that it would a fortune to call out the D/G company. I will have a go myself, couldn't get better instructions than this video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much! This is the clearest and most helpful video on YT! Update: Just fitted new gearbox and barrel to my outside door and all perfect! Thank you SO much. Less than £50 and job done. Couldn't have done it with out you!
Three years ago I changed one, but I removed the long metal strip completely, and it was not easy to get it back in exactly the right position. This time, I will use your trick of not removing the strip completely. Thank you so much for your clear and helpful video.
Looks like a Snap On ratcheting screw driver, that was an expensive investment for me but o have it now for over 35 years. Quality tool! Been doing all of my own lock replacements for 40+ years, got my certification and Bond in the states over 40 years ago. Moved to the EU and still do all of my own work on my rentals and home.
Wished I'd watched this video sooner. I'm on my 3rd new barrell in 3 months - been advised today at a local hardware store that it's most likely the gearbox that's stopping me from locking my door and not an issue with the barrell. However I'm now an expert in changing the barrell and removing the handle ! Will try removing the gearbox tomorrow and trying to find a replacement for it. Thanks again for posting. Update...successfully replaced the gearbox (local hardware store was very helpful and knowledgeable). Fairly straightforward to do this. Door now fully operational again !
I had to sign on and comment and say THANK YOU SO MUCH, I repaired myself yesterday and followed your every step, lock is now functioning perfectly. Was worried for a few days as my door had no lock and I put a big bar on the handle to prevent someone breaking in.
Thanks appreciate all you tubers posting video’s like this saves us all paying a fortune for a locksmith or company selling us another door. Going forward for the sake of the environment and saving a lot of money we should all make an effort to fix things not just through products that fixable to landfill 👍👍👍
Thank you for a straightforward and easy to understand video which explained things simply and clearly. I followed your example and successfully changed the gearbox in my door and it works perfectly! Thanks again.
Hi SJP. Great video and well presented. I always have a go at fixing stuff myself. There are plenty of videos on social media to look at, and learn how to do it. It also saves you money not having to pay a tradesman. Sorry guys. What you save by not paying them will allow you to buy yourself a set of tools. If I haven't got the appropriate tool for a job, I'll go out and buy one. You'll get a lot of joy from Doing It Yourself. And if you do get stuck with anything, you can always call in the tradesmen as a last resort. Thanks and take care.
Cracking video. I easily removed all the locking mechanisms. Found that the door lock gear had broken inside. replacement sourced and fitted. Working perfectly. Thank you.
Great video! showed exactly what to unscrew on the metal strip to access and change the gear box, I was going to unscrew everything, this is much clearer.
A great help. I too tried replacing the barrel but there’s nothing really in that to go wrong. I’m gonna get the old lock out and give it a go. Thanks, Buddy. 👍
You're a Genius. My latch wont retract when operating the handle. I would have gone hell for leather undoing every knut bolt screw etc etc and end up in a metal mess 😂 The video was perfectly done. Clear concise and you made it easy to understand. You've got a great temperament to how you presented the video. Certainly gifted. BIG THANK YOU. 😊 👍
A nicely presented explanation of lock strip down and replacement - thanks. May I make just one point, once you have removed the screws from the inside securing the door handle face plates, I’d recommend initially leaving the square connecting shaft in position until you have actually removed the external face plate, this will hold the face place plate and prevent it from falling off, potentially getting damaged and avoid unsightly dinks etc. Cheers
Thanks a lot for that. Just locked my back door and there was a snap and it's very stiff to operate. Still locks but I'll need to replace it before it completely packs up. Much obliged to you for your guide.
Truly appreciate, specially none DIY person your video made perfect sense. Very clear step by step instructions. Just a suggestion there is a hanging mobile pouch comes, might be ideal so u don't need to hold.
Thank you so much at least I know what’s wrong 👍🏻🤗✨I didn’t have all the tackle needed or the nu gear box . So I got an expert in he did charge £120 as you said but to be honest it’s cheaper than a new door or any of my botched attempts 😁thanks again I enjoyed your video 🤗
Thankyou your video showed me how to remove my lock and lubricate all moving parts as I couldn't move it up and down. So far so good after lubricating. Thankyou very much
Thank you , successfully changed central gear , very easy ,service charge 85 pounds . To break open door already paid 85 pounds cash .mine was lockmaster 35 mm single spindle .lots of them available in Amazon.
Legend, The three screws that go into the front of the gearbox that are different sizes if not put back in the right position door will not lock. After making a few adjustments mine is working fine now thank you very much.
I replaced my own lock very similar to yours before seeing your video. Definitely a good thing that you took the time to make and post this video as many won't realise how easy this can be. Fair play to you I say.
Very good video and very helpful, thanks. A bit surprised though that you had'nt fitted a more secure barrel, that one used are easily snapped. Just a thought though.👍
