Faulty lock Swift Hartal Door Lock Barrel Replacement

Swift caravan door lock - Barrel replacement.
Collapsed lock barrel and your key wont go all the way in? Does your lock feel stiff or crunchy? Potentially one of or even both small lugs (tangs) at the end of the lock barrel could have broken off. Meaning when you turn the key it doesn't operate smoothly how it should. It may not operate at all in some cases. apologies for the long drawn out video please feel free to skip from part to part. Maybe this will help someone who wants to give this a try and repair their door lock themselves.

Great video just completed mine, watching gave me so much confidence thank you

Very nicely explained, especially pointing out when something might be fiddly or easy to break off!!

I would just like to thank you for this video. It is largely due to it that I successfully replaced the door lock assembly on my Swift Fairway after suffering a broken door handle. Thanks very much

[@IanDavison-q5c]

Thanks. Gave me the confidence to replace the lock barrel myself. Much cheaper than the replacement catch I was quoted for!

[@yvanzeebroek4667]

Thanks so much for the thorough explanation. I used your video to replace the barrel of my Hobby caravan!

[@paullismore2172]

Absolutely top notch - was able to do this myself with your help! 5 stars 👍

Excellent video, easily demonstrates how the Hartal door handle is dismantled and refitted.

Danke für diese sehr gute Erklärung. Mein Griff ist gebrochen und ich muss nun den Schließzylinder aus dem alten raus und in den neuen reinbekommen. Das hat sehr geholfen. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland👍

Thanks, made life a lot easier for me at 4pm on a Sunday in a campsite 6hrs from home. Expensive handle from a local dealer (surprisingly had one in stock!)but at least it’s fixed now with a bit of help from this video👍

[@staffordshirecaravansltd]

Glad it helped

[@jerrystone8916]

Excellent video, made it so much easier than trial & error. Job's a good 'un all done. Cheers.👍

Had to put a comment simple easy to follow instructions changed it on my own thankyou so much for saving me some money keep up the good work.

[@willemschutte5986]

Thanks for this clear video. It has been a great help for me!🙏

[@michaelkuchel9218]

Thanks for this nice Video 👍

[@kemogray7374]

Thank you for the brilliant video and clear explanation. Used it to to change a broken barrel

[@tonyrodeo3321]

Quick question, if the barrel has broke one of the lugs like the example you showed & is able to be taken out without stripping down the full door lock and handle can you simply put a new barrel straight in to the locating lugs?

[@stevendavies6582]

I wanted to know this too

[@paullismore2172]

Yes it is but don’t ask me how…my wife managed to hand me a broken barrel with the key still in it 😂

[@NeonPlasma]

😃 Nice, I will do it myself. I'm sure many need this video. Maybe try to make it more searchable with word like caravan door lock replacement repair......

[@leepeter6304]

Thank you so much. Fitting a new bathroom and we are using the caravan for the shower ( house full of girls)so the caravan is very bisey. Work 6 Days a week Sunday only day to fit the bathroom. Come home from work and they have broken the baral and pulled the door handel off the caravan. I naw now why they say it tackes a man to have girl.🙂

[@danielwitt-morris8447]

😂ouch mate. 4 boys and a girl so I feel your pain. Just gone to lock mine after a weekend away and the lock jammed and then the barrel came out on the key😮. At least I only need to slide a new one in😂😂😂

[@alk5270]

Anyone know where to get one of those return springs

[@rtkronos2745]

Thank you very much, I could do the replacement myself!! I have to say the design of the handle is quite poor. If you pull it and the door is locked it breaks quite easily

[@ripTrEaD]

This could have been done without dismantling and simply using the barrel removal key from the manufacturer
