... but for the sake of saving a few pence why not just do as previously advised and take the whole lock into a locksmiths shop. Just undo the big nut on the back.0 -
I managed to take off the whole lock completely!

Thank you all for your help. Today I've been to see another locksmith and showed him a lock. He looked at it and could not find a similar one in his store. He had a bigger lock but he said that he needs come to me and make a bigger hole in the letter box and fit a bigger lock. He measured my lock. I'am attaching the photo with the measurements he took. May be you could help me to find the similar/identical to it in internet/e-bay that will fit into the hole on the letter box?
