Default Seized mortice lock

Hi

A mortice lock on an external door which I hardly ever use has become
seized. I bet the problem is corrosion.

Anyway I've found out because now I want to use the door

I'm wondering if anyone here might be able to assist with some suggestions
to free up the lock?

Thank you.

If siezed whilst unlocked then remove and dismantle

If locked small angle grinder and 3 mm metal cutting disk between the door
and the frame to cut through lock bolt
then fit new lock
