hello chaps anyone know if the door locks ie barrels can be taken out swopped to another handle thanks dave

You might be able to swap them but i guess there's a chance of ruining them in the process ( i have seen them for sale seperately though). I haven't done it before, but i know that the bonnet lock barrel can be changed easily...

All I do know is getting the handles off is a sod of a job, lots of swearing amd lost knuckles.
Good luck.

Agreed not the easiest job going around.. 126fan SK have handles u can buy in pair with the same key for both

Yes you can change the lock barrels in the handles but as the last two guys pointed out it is not easy getting the door handles off then you have a rather deilcate job getting the barrels out of the handles. If you do go for it spray some WD40 on the two captive studs that hold the handle to the door skin as if they have rusted then they may just turn in the plastic handle body. Worth putting a dob of grease on the studs on reassembly also [-/

thanks lads just sorted it handle came of not to bad once of when you look at the back of the barrel there is a stud that holds it all together once that is poked out the barrel then can be swopped as in my case to a better handle job done handle back to door that was a challenge thanks again
