The original type barrel used a clip that slid under the barrel from inside the
door, and yes, it is difficult and frustrating to fit. If you are not careful
you can cause distortion to the door skin when trying to push the clip in
place. Unfortunately, I know this to happen all to well. But, there is a new
style that is available from Moss or TRF that uses small set screws rather than
the clip. I've not used it but I think it would be the way to go if I were
going to replace them.

Subject: [TR] TR6 Door Lock Barrel
Hi,
The door lock barrel has been getting loose and finally the whole
thing came out with the key. I haven't stripped the door yet but the clip must
have dropped out or corroded and has fallen inside.
Is there a better way to
fit the barrel???
I did this a while ago and I seem to recall it was rather
frustrating.
Thanks
Alex
