pvc door lock and handles

[ytre]

The bolt in my pvc door has stopped working and is jammed in so when closing i have to lift the handle. Took it off to discover the spring is broke so will prob need the whole unit.

Phoned the local hardware only to be told that there are loads of different lock sizes and handles and need to bring the lot with me.

I havent a clue about these locks and wondering can anyone shine any light on how i can identify the lock or handles i need or what my best option is?

as said take the whole lot and be sitting down when they tell you the price

what sort of spring is it and do you not have the pieces? if so could you not just source a spring the right size there are loads of places on the net that do that sort of thing

Mine is faulty as well.
Removed it from the door and found manufacturers details stamped on so easy to get an exact replacement.
Budget for around £75 although the more common ones can often be found cheaper !

Its a sealed unit and cant even see where the spring should be

Thanks dr nik, i'll take it off in the next few days and do that, hopefully there'll be a manufacturers mark on it somewhere
