French Door locks

R6TTJ

Hi All

I changed my front door lock (Barrell) was nice n easy, I then wanted to change my french door locks one side was nice n easy just like the front door but the other door I cant figure out...

Ive googled/youtube it and it says that I have to unscrew the metal fixing and then drill into the plastic to discover the screw... but behind the metal fixing is UPVC with a hole which shows metal... do i need to drill into the metal?

I have attached a picture which shows the metal fixing... when I remove the fixing there is rectangle hole that is cut out and behind it is metal... where is this screw :mad:

Upload your image to a picture hosting website... for example, photobucket... there are many others.

Then use the URL that the picture hosting website gives you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm sooo stuck

AFAIK there's only one place Euro-cylinders have the securing screw, so drawing a horizontal line from there and around onto the edge of the door, I'd expect the screw to be located underneath the red dot...

Thanks for the reply, that's exactly what I thought but it's not right when looking at the door and following your line the red dot is infact higher up in my second pic in means I have to drill into the metal... Not sure if I should or not
