Hi it sounds like your door has jammed, I would say you need a locksmith pr uPVC exper to get it opened, I would suspect its been difficult to lock for a while? and has finally given up the ghost with the cold weather. a new gearbox will will cost under £100 fitted a full new door strip will be under £200.

woop woop and fanfare for Jplocksmithsw :j 5* for the online diagnosis. Locksmith came today and fixed it in 30 minutes and freed me over the phone. By pushing the handle down hard the door opened.

The spring had gone so he needed to put a new door strip in but I kept my current barrel as it was working fine and would have been another £30 to change. £155 later, my door is back working a treat.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and solutions, much appreciated in my hour of need. :beer:

No problem glad I could help. the reley sad thing is I know what lock you have fitted by the way he opened it
