Thanks that's great, now I am getting somewhere!

I was considering getting a key made up, but the lock does seem a little old
and dirty and stiff, so getting a new lock with keys for £20-£30 would be a
good idea. I would imagine a locksmith would want about that amount for
dismantling and cleaning, and making up keys.

Hello,

I recently decided to replace a lock in an internal door, so I could use
the
lock again (the current one has no keys!)

I popped the lock out of the door and went down to B&Q + Homebase to try
and
find a replacement. However, all the ones I saw, and also the websites
I've
looked at that sell locks don't seem to sell this type. Most the ones
for
sale are very narrow, and have the handle on top, and lock below. The
one
I
need is a very long lock with the lock on the left, and handle to the
right.

I've put some photos of it he http://photos.yahoo.com/jwoods81

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

You're looking for a Horizontal Mortice Sash Lock, which are still be
quite
common, so a web search should give you a few hits.
