Door lock
 

Thanks Hunter I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Hi,
Common failure on these locks is the exterior lock barrel becoming detached from the spindle which operates the internal part of the lock. The spindle is attached by a small roll pin which drops out.
To remove the lock barrel pull aside the door rubber seal level with the lock, you will see a hole which gives access to the allen screw which holds the lock in place,unscrew it and remove the lock;if the spindle is attached i'm wrong and you need to look elsewhere; if the spindle is not attached it will be
hanging loose in the internal locking mechanism,carefully remove it with pointed nosed pliers ;it should just pull out; do not drop it or you will have to get a replacement or dismantle the door to retrieve it. You can then refix the spindle with a replacement roll pin or preferably a split pin ;which won't fall out in future; and reassemble the lock to the door.
Hopefully problem solved.
