Replacement Mortice Lock

[BennyC]

Hi,

The mortice lock on the personnel door to my garage needs replacing. About 12-18 months ago I believe the levers fell/begun to fall and turning the key fully to unlock it wasn't possible.

However last weekend after a bit of hoo-har and some swearing I managed to unlock it and get it out. I measured a 45mm backset which *I think* means I need a 65mm replacement (the depth of the case itself, also 65mm).

I know very little about locks other than a small amount about euro-cyclinders so I'm just after recommendations and if there are any I should avoid? I'd like to do it this weekend and have all the usual DIY/Hardware stores on my doorstep (B&Q, Homebase, Screwfix, Wickes)

Obviously I wan't something secure, it's the only lock on the door, though (not to tempt fate) it's a quiet neighbourhood so doesn't need to be Fort Knox

Thanks,

BennyC

Depending where you are in Bucks, it'd be worth heading to Brinnick Locksmiths in Newport Pagnell. Take the old one with you and they'll get you sorted.
