Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement one of these lock assemblies please? Its a locking bar mechanism on an up and over.
No markings on it and the sticker on the garage door is unreadable so no idea where to start.

I Googled "garage door lock" and it threw up a variety of models and brands with included Cardale and Garadoor. Handle shapes seem to slightly different, the locks sometimes circular rather than "euro" shape that you have. If you are a decent DIYer suggest you take the thing apart so you can see if the lock shape really matters into the workings at the back. Also find out what bit needs replacing, you haven't told us where it's failed, though I am guessing it's within the lock. That would guide you to the part or parts you need.

I'd look on EBay first then if no luck take the lock off door and to a lock shop.0

Long shot but try Google image search? I tried (although I did find your post elsewhere!) but I think you need to take a photo directly in front of it for better results.0

It looks like a euro cylinder, in which case there would be a screw on the side of the long edge of the inside lock box. It will be opposite that hole you see near the brass latch pin. Remove that screw completely, insert the key and withdraw the cylinder from the outside. You will need to turn the key to find the right position for withdrawal.
Remove the inside handle and it should then be possible to remove the outside handle. Then remove the inside lock mechanism.
What is that chunk of wood for?0 -
There's someone on Ebay called The Garage Door Guru who I have used in the past with great success0
