Euro (Patio door) lock - how to replace barrel ?

I've lost the key to the patio door which has a euro lock fitting.

The door is in the unlocked state, but this prevents the barrel from being slipped through the door frame and fit the replacement lock.

Is there a knack to this, or do I have to resort to drilling out the tumblers, not something I really want to do.

Thanks in advance

My System: TM6800HD+TD110+StabHH90 motor,TM1000D+Orbital 1m +Moteck motor.45E to 45W. 2 x minidishes.DigitAlB movies. A Bigsat BS-S77CX and a Sky Dodgibox.

The last time I replaced one of these it was necessary to turn the key to a certain angle so that the lock could be withdrawn.

Alternatively, you could try picking the lock. (Not joking, should be possible)

Robbo is correct. You need a key to turn the lock barrel slightly and then you undo the small grub screw holding the barrel into the door. The barrel will then slide out as the tumblers are flush with the barrel.

It certainly is possible to pick locks and a GOOD locksmith can do this. Bad ones will just drill them out.

I hesitate to say this but there are guides to lock picking out there on t'Internet...

I have picked my OWN front door lock once, just for a laugh, took about 5 mins.

It can be quick if you get it right, or you could be all day trying.

As the door can be opened, I have already found and taken out the small grub screw to see if the barrel would slide out, which is when I found the retaining design of the lock.

Damn, I hate drilling locks, metal filings everywhere for cats paws to pick up.

Try sticking an envelope to the door just under the lock and pull it open a bit and it should catch most of the filings...

Either that or vacuum up after you're done...
