Hi, hoping for some help from one you more experienced caravaners , does anyone know how to remove the lock barrel from a wet locker door? I have a replacement door but need the lock out of the old one to use in the new one. I've stripped the back of the old door down but can't get the barrel out. Caravan is a Bailey pursuit, I've rang Bailey's and no help and they put me onto prima leaisure who couldn't help either. The metal lug looks like it may twist with pliers (I've tried to gently turn it but didn't want to force it and snap the lug off) Thanks for any help guys

I have managed to get the barrel out...there is a little metal springed catch down the side of the barrel which you need to push in as you pop the barrel out for future in case anyone is looking to do this in the future
The door in your photo is a Thetford “Wet Locker Door 5” with (I believe) a “Zadi” lock.
There are several on-line references to Bailey caravans fitted with this door, usually asking how the lock barrel can be prevented from falling out rather than how to fit a new barrel in an old door or an old barrel in a new door.
The ‘correct’ way to remove/replace a Zadi lock-barrel involves using a removal key that can be purchased on-line for around £10

A GOOGLE-search on “ Zadi lock barrel removal" will link to a YouTube video showing how the removal key should be employed.
Although you have managed to remove the barrel from the old door, you may still hit problems fitting the barrel to the new door. It is commonplace to need to replace these lock-barrels and caravan/motorhome dealers are likely to have the necessay removal key.
