I wish that I could let the forum know the name of the company who did the job - but that would give away my location !!

If you'd done it yourself it would have cost even less!

For that price they probably used a cheap barrel that can be opened with a wooden toothpick, a decent one costs more than that inclusive price !

I wouldn't have even known where to start to look for the particular barrel that was required ...

It looks like http://www.screwfix.com/p/eurospec-keyed-alike-euro-cylinder-lock-35-45-80mm-polished-brass/4553H?kpid=4553H&ds_rl=1250418&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx_mypcDb1QIVgrftCh2MVQtIEAQYBSABEgJz5vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CO6qgNfA29UCFUin7QodH2YB8w - which costs £20 - so was fitted for free !!
It IS brass

which is also brass and only costs £8.44.

If only there was some kind of online DIY forum where people would happily share their knowledge on how to accomplish this relatively simple task...;)

molerat makes a good point though - a decent cylinder (3*) plus fitting costs more than £20 - around £35-50 for the cylinder alone.
