Looks like a Snap On ratcheting screw driver, that was an expensive investment for me but o have it now for over 35 years. Quality tool! Been doing all of my own lock replacements for 40+ years, got my certification and Bond in the states over 40 years ago. Moved to the EU and still do all of my own work on my rentals and home.

[@RebeccaNewby-r6r]

Thank you so much for posting I’ve saved £170. So grateful to you for your clear step by step instructions 😀

[@nickwilkins9299]

Thank you so much! This is the clearest and most helpful video on YT! Update: Just fitted new gearbox and barrel to my outside door and all perfect! Thank you SO much. Less than £50 and job done. Couldn't have done it with out you!

[@parjau4554]

EXCELLENTLY done! Clear, precise instructions. Thank you very much for making this very helpful video.

[@valerieriziotis4119]

You are a fantastic instructor/teacher … so clear , great pace and totally realistic . We’re on it tomorrow ! Thanks x

[@robstradling8252]

You have a very good style of presentation, I like the time you take to show viewers every stage in detail. Thanks very much indeed 😀👍

Thank you so much for recording this.

[@kaithanya5850]

Three years ago I changed one, but I removed the long metal strip completely, and it was not easy to get it back in exactly the right position. This time, I will use your trick of not removing the strip completely. Thank you so much for your clear and helpful video.

[@r1273m]

That was brilliant! My lock has started to play up today and I was worried that it would a fortune to call out the D/G company. I will have a go myself, couldn't get better instructions than this video. Thanks for posting.

[@chrislovelock-m8t]

Cracking video. I easily removed all the locking mechanisms. Found that the door lock gear had broken inside. replacement sourced and fitted. Working perfectly. Thank you.

[@andrewrayner153]

I don't often comment on videos but watching this first made the job go much smoother. Thanks.

[@phillparker1712]

I'm not great at DIY, but I watched this video and was able to replace my UPVC door's gearbox myself. Thanks!

[@LucasVincent-x9y]

I had to sign on and comment and say THANK YOU SO MUCH, I repaired myself yesterday and followed your every step, lock is now functioning perfectly. Was worried for a few days as my door had no lock and I put a big bar on the handle to prevent someone breaking in.

[@medhatkhechine]

Man, you saved me a £185 for a locksmith charges, thank you very much 👍🏼🙏👍🏼

[@wheeliehigh]

I only charge £80 plus the gearbox. About £120 total. Next time take the whole lock out and rest on the floor to change the gearbox. Always tighten the cylinder fixing screw last. It needs to be loose when fitting the handles. Also a good idea to strip the hook boxes and re lube them, if they are manky and dirty they will put unwanted stress on the gearbox and cause it to fail. Lifting the handle with your palm is bad, the component that the spindle goes through is only cast material, they often break from heavy handed use

[@nickskinner7427]

Brilliant….answered all my questions and saved me waiting for my local glazing firm to come out at huge cost. I was wondering which screws to take out to access the gearbox.

[@davidpollard4051]

Wished I'd watched this video sooner. I'm on my 3rd new barrell in 3 months - been advised today at a local hardware store that it's most likely the gearbox that's stopping me from locking my door and not an issue with the barrell. However I'm now an expert in changing the barrell and removing the handle ! Will try removing the gearbox tomorrow and trying to find a replacement for it. Thanks again for posting. Update...successfully replaced the gearbox (local hardware store was very helpful and knowledgeable). Fairly straightforward to do this. Door now fully operational again !

[@hans-christianlassen6868]

Thanks for a great instructing video. Easy job that looked much worse before I found this video - so thanks again. My gearbox stopped working Sunday, and neither toolstation or Screwfix or Wickes had the part but one small family business on amazon had it for £17 next day delivery and the option I chose was next day before 1 pm + £2 other businesses was from £24 and not delivered before Tuesday. The part fitted perfectly just needed silicone for parsing the lock through (15 years of weather). Be careful when choosing the (right) model. There is another youtube with that theme.

[@davidataylor]

Thanks for uploading this - it was daunting me until I watched.

[@SeanCallaghan-f6b]

Great advice on every point replaced the UpVC door gearbox for less than £30 following the viewing of your tube. Many Thanks

[@raru80]

Such a clear and instructive presentation! Amazing job, mate! Thank you on my behalf and on behalf of others for saving us money. Cheers!

[@miteshdamji]

Thank you mate. Like comment below, it has saved me around £250 in locksmith charges.

[@simonhopkins3867]

Thanks bud. I've got a very nosey clicking handle. I didn't fancy removing the plate but you've put my mind at ease.

[@lindamaslin6642]

Fantastic video, thank you for the informative and straight forward instructions, I definitely feel i could give this a go now!

[@douglasmcarthur1643]

Outstanding video an informative. Now have a lockable door. Thanks very much

[@foolcellsorryfuelcellmirag4835]

Thanks appreciate all you tubers posting video’s like this saves us all paying a fortune for a locksmith or company selling us another door. Going forward for the sake of the environment and saving a lot of money we should all make an effort to fix things not just through products that fixable to landfill 👍👍👍

[@JimJim-kh8rw]

You're a Genius. My latch wont retract when operating the handle. I would have gone hell for leather undoing every knut bolt screw etc etc and end up in a metal mess 😂 The video was perfectly done. Clear concise and you made it easy to understand. You've got a great temperament to how you presented the video. Certainly gifted. BIG THANK YOU. 😊 👍

[@LesleyRobinson-o9n]

Thank you so much for showing and explaining the door mechanism 👍 I've changed door handles and cylinder locks before but may have a problem with the internal mechanism which, thanks to you I can do myself saving a load of money which as a new pensioner will benefit me once again tremendous thanks 😊

[@SD-gw5vm]

You are doing a brilliant job. Please keep recording and sharing.

[@richierich4810]

Good job sir, very well spoken & you've gotta love them snap on screwdrivers haha 👍

[@gerrymcivor374]

Thank you for a straightforward and easy to understand video which explained things simply and clearly. I followed your example and successfully changed the gearbox in my door and it works perfectly! Thanks again.

[@innovativeprevention1931]

Thanks Mate door lock failed just as I was leaving this morning. I swopped it out with my back door so I could get in with my day. Thanks so much

[@kape9004]

Hi SJP. Great video and well presented. I always have a go at fixing stuff myself. There are plenty of videos on social media to look at, and learn how to do it. It also saves you money not having to pay a tradesman. Sorry guys. What you save by not paying them will allow you to buy yourself a set of tools. If I haven't got the appropriate tool for a job, I'll go out and buy one. You'll get a lot of joy from Doing It Yourself. And if you do get stuck with anything, you can always call in the tradesmen as a last resort. Thanks and take care.

[@baldvale5418]

Thank you so much for taking the time and the effort to make this great video. You have helped loads of people save a lot of time and money 👍

[@tomfielder8973]

A great help. I too tried replacing the barrel but there’s nothing really in that to go wrong. I’m gonna get the old lock out and give it a go. Thanks, Buddy. 👍

[@gordon8858]

Thank you for the video, Clear and concise instructions even with the camera in hand. Great job.

[@InfiniteRadius]

Thank you! Your video saved me a bundle of money too. Easy job to do myself in the end 😊

[@curvardemeserie]

Thank you,now i have the courage to do it my self..I will do the replacement tomorrow

[@bp779]

Truly appreciate, specially none DIY person your video made perfect sense. Very clear step by step instructions. Just a suggestion there is a hanging mobile pouch comes, might be ideal so u don't need to hold.

[@evanofelipe]

A nicely presented explanation of lock strip down and replacement - thanks. May I make just one point, once you have removed the screws from the inside securing the door handle face plates, I’d recommend initially leaving the square connecting shaft in position until you have actually removed the external face plate, this will hold the face place plate and prevent it from falling off, potentially getting damaged and avoid unsightly dinks etc. Cheers

[@abutariq31]

Excellent, well presented.

[@numerouno.5445]

Very instructive video. This bloke knows his stuff.

[@KW-Beach]

Great video! showed exactly what to unscrew on the metal strip to access and change the gear box, I was going to unscrew everything, this is much clearer.

[@99ReasonsY]

hi if i buy the double splinter typ, but i have single in my door will it work?

[@HappyAtomTraining]

Thanks - very clear and well-explained

[@philphillips7732]

Wicked video mate , Have to replace my gearbox and now feel confident doing that now ,Cheers

[@Marc-ex5ne]

Thanks a lot for that. Just locked my back door and there was a snap and it's very stiff to operate. Still locks but I'll need to replace it before it completely packs up. Much obliged to you for your guide.

[@Domnickcan]

Thanks for the video that you done . I have a problem with my door lock locks from the outside but not from inside you might have solved my problem

[@musicismyfirstlove]

Thankyou your video showed me how to remove my lock and lubricate all moving parts as I couldn't move it up and down. So far so good after lubricating. Thankyou very much

[@williamkeane6548]

Very helpful. Thank u very much Sir❤

[@bobi1049]

This IS BRILLIANT! Thanks so much!

[@Welshkiteflyer]

A huge thank you. I followed your great instructions,the size was on the lock so I ordered one from Amazon 15 pounds works a treat. Take care Ceri 🎉

[@Jeolb]

Thank you very much for the information. The video helps me a lot in knowing the function and parts.

[@JohnChilton1]

Excellent! not too much preamble at the start, got down to the issue quickly. well done.

[@kidoniyo4671]

Thank you for your video. It has helped me to sort out my door. It was not closing properly as the bottom mechanism was not set up back properly.

[@richh5620]

Thanks - Good to get an insight into how to change barrels / worn gearboxes - I think this job is imminent for me soon 😄

[@rogerjarrett3335]

Thanks for a very informative video.

[@kamalmaster9208]

Brilliantly explained sir. You've saved me a small fortune.

[@johnprice1914]

You did a great job demonstrating this vlog..Thankyou.

[@dailaffin9066]

Thank you, this video has given me the confidence to tackle the job myself rather than pay an inflated price to a locksmith!

[@petrawislon8384]

Thanks for the video, just sorted mine which want locking. Easy DIY with your help.

[@janettinkler2204]

Great video thank you 👌🏼

[@bootsthegod9084]

Super helpful. I’m gonna take the gearbox out of my door and try to confirm what model it is so I can order a replacement. Thanks bro 😎

[@wanhliu552]

Thanks for sharing, yes difficult to record and do the work at the same time. It was highly educational to me.

[@obi-wankenobi4796]

Legend, The three screws that go into the front of the gearbox that are different sizes if not put back in the right position door will not lock. After making a few adjustments mine is working fine now thank you very much.

[@eldridism]

Thanks mate saved me some money.

[@grassblade2]

Crackin' vid' man. It's exactly what I was expecting but nice to have it verified. Thanks.

[@johnbrady7302]

Superb explanation of how to replace the gearbox. Thank you!

[@MargaretsCatsMittensandTango]

Thank you so much at least I know what’s wrong 👍🏻🤗✨I didn’t have all the tackle needed or the nu gear box . So I got an expert in he did charge £120 as you said but to be honest it’s cheaper than a new door or any of my botched attempts 😁thanks again I enjoyed your video 🤗

[@David-qc1hi]

Excellent guide

[@jamesgallagher1992]

Brilliant video lad🤘

[@simonbrown3169]

I replaced my own lock very similar to yours before seeing your video. Definitely a good thing that you took the time to make and post this video as many won't realise how easy this can be. Fair play to you I say.

[@timm4930]

Thanks for the instruction , will tackle mine now with a bit more confidence

[@lossdomingoss699]

Nice one . Many thanks for great tutorial !

[@dikmugget]

Perfect video, well explained.saved me £100's😁👍👍👍

[@chrisgc77]

Great video. Decent instructions and to the point.

[@mattthecornishdad6576]

Hi mate Great video On my lock the sliding rods on each side of the lock seem to be one piece going through the lock making it unable to be replaced the lock separately are some locks like this ? Thanks again

[@iqbalsaulat198]

Thank you , successfully changed central gear , very easy ,service charge 85 pounds . To break open door already paid 85 pounds cash .mine was lockmaster 35 mm single spindle .lots of them available in Amazon.

[@rothschildspigeon6390]

Cheers buddy. Saved me a fortune this video. ….👍🏼🍻

[@andrewbates677]

Thank you very much great video

[@shardle26]

Great video, helped us massively and saved 50 quid on a locksmith! Thanks very much

[@raul2602]

Wow, fantastic job! Many thanks for sharing with us!

[@nancypiedrahita3106]

Thank you for your generosity ,! 🙏🏼😍😍😍❤️

[@markrhodes5474]

Perfect changed mine yesterday

[@jacksparrow8932]

Great help but what was the problem with the part you replaced.

[@dawntodd1995]

Brilliant video do you know if the gearbox is one standard size or are they all different?

[@jabsdrahm.3232]

Really useful !!

[@mj2023uk]

5* video, clear concise on point, thanks !

[@placebo2682]

Excellent video, really comprehensive and informative.

[@plunder1956]

It's good to see the whole process, also to see you using hand tools not power. Many people use too much force & wreck the threads or screw heads. I'm just dealing with a wrecked center lock gearbox. The insides are often very weak & easily broken.

[@allenmannifield4371]

Hi nice detailed video. I have a faulty lock so exactly what i needed to have a go

[@shayneward9676]

Thank you for the clear and easy instructions much appreciated!

[@laurencemarchant1118]

Great video. Clear and professional.

[@jamesharkin2211]

Clear and concise advice with great video thanks 👍

[@damianhallmark333]

Great video, thank you. Exactly what I needed to know straight away. Thanks!

[@parkman8609]

Thanks for this amazing video, not easy to do it the same time with video shooting; awesome job!

[@steveedwards4495]

Thanks mate, just needed to know how the mechanism works. Our door is locked and won't open because think the barrel is shot as it just turns round and around. Think it's going to need breaking off to replace. Not sure about doing that so getting a guy in.

[@Mullspeed]

Great video, just what I needed to know before tackling the job! Thanks :D

[@marktucker389]

Nicely done and well explained. Now I know what to do with mine. Thanks
