Union door lock - replace rear barrel?

boombang

Is it possible to replace the rear barrel on he type of Union lock pictured here? If so, where's a good place to buy such a barrel?

Further info:
I previously replaced the front barrel as it was catching and not turning smoothly. This meant the rear barrel still required the original key to open it from the inside (which is sometimes necessary if somebody absent-mindedly locks the for when leaving when others remain inside). The key original key for the inside has now been lost, hence my need to replace the rear barrel. Please correct me if I'm using the wrong term for the rear barrel.

Thanks in advance.

The rear barell is non replaceable
If you want the one key to do both sides you need a new lock complete
That lock us a union dead bolt night latch
Costs around €70-€90

You can get the rear barrel on those nightlatches re-pinned and new keys supplied by any good locksmith. You'd have to take the back-case off the door and leave it with them for a few hours.
Where are you based?

Thanks 1984baby.

I'm based in Pearse St/D2. So I'm thinking the place on Dame St next door to Eddie Rockets?

Is possible to have the rear barrel re-pinned to match the existing key pattern so the front barrel can be retained?

Thanks again for the info.

If it's not, the front barrel only costs a few quid.

Yeah, Fogartys could probably do it. If not try Keymasters on Dorset Street or Central Key.
Doubtful that you could get the same key as the front. The barrel on the backcase has the old union profile key which prob won't match your new cylinder on the front.
