Default UPVC door lock repair

Our front door has been getting harder to unlock recently - I've changed
the eurolock barrel and it's made no difference and as far as I can see,
the door hasn't dropped enough to be causing the issue.

Given that, I'm pondering changing the entire mechanism.

Anyone have any experience of fitting the repair kit from toolstation?

I'm assuming UPVC doors are all much the same, and that should fit ok?

Anything to watch for?

Cheers,

Darren

You need to get the exact match for various dimensions: key to handle,
'backset' (from plate to key/handle, number of rollers/mushrooms (mushrooms
can be replaced by rollers - mushroom keeps don't seem to be availabe now,
but roller keeps are OK for them, so it's not critical).
I've usually found that things labelled as "universal" are from another
universe.
