the key can only be removed from the door when its locked, when unlocked it wont turn enough for the key to be removed, needs a qauter of a turn more but its wont turn anymore

 

any ideas or is it a new lock?

You could try spraying a bit of oil in it and working the key?

Yep I had that problem two weeks ago, a bt of WD40 into the lock and work the key and its fine again:cool2:

Good tip:thumbup1:my daughters Foed Ka drivers door lock stoped working so sprayed some wd40 in the door lock and now works fine.:thumbup:

Well overdue some rep me thinks :lol:

 

WD40 actually stands for 'Water Displacement', and is the 40th formula they came up with (useless info), but it isn't really a proper lubricant, get yourself a tin of silicone or PTFE lubricant (PTFE stand for poly tetra flouro ethene, I know what everything stands for, bit like the rain man!), it's fantastic stuff....

lmfao Allan:lol: I have fitted lots of uPVC doors and locks and that sounds like a faulty lock. You should be able to take the key barrel out (one screw holding it on edge of door) check and see if it is working properly and if it is then it must be the lock which is faulty.

ive just took it to bits and i think the latch on the lock has jumped, only a tenner to replace so no biggy lol
