how con i fix my upvc door lock?

i have a upvc door and it will lock, but i can`t take the key out, if the door is locked i have to leave the key in the lock. when the door is open i can take the key out. why is this happening? it only happened today, i`ve had this door for 18yrs. is the barrel knackered? or do i have to replace the whole lock? or can you tell me how to fix it? thankyou...

Its the Euro barrel that is faulty. There is a cam in the middle that will have moved into the wrong position so the easiest thing to do is replace it.

The cylinder is faulty - either due to its age and wear or due to a poor quality cut key being slightly too short. Either way the central cam on the cylinder has slipped half a turn.

Only sure fire solution is to replace the cylinder.

hmmmm when you lift the handle to lift the lock and put the key in just turn the key till u hear it lock then it should pull out

Q) is the key you are using a cut key if so then that sometimes causes problems like this
