I need to replace the lock on my backdoor as the catch has broken. The lock is one with a eurocylinder & has rods (shootbolts?) going to the top & bottom of the door.

I am able to remove the cylinder & loosen the lock but cannot figure out how to remove the shootbolts so that I can remove the lock from the door.

Does anyone know how these are connected to the back of the lock & how to remove them?

The Eurolocks that I have dealt with have a long bolt coming from the edge
of the door to hold the lock in place. You shouldn't hvae to remove the
"shoot bolts".

Your question's too unclear

A link to a photograph or two would help - while the cylinders are fairly stardard the rest of the lock can vary...

Sorry if the question is a bit unclear. It's the actual sash lock I need to replace. I can remove the handles, front face & eurocylinder but the lock is attached to the shootbolts somehow. Until I can figure out how to detach these from the lock I can't remove it from the door.

I can't give you any names for the lock as there is nothing on the front face. I presume the name will be on the side but as I can't pull it out very far I can't see.

Have you tried unscrewing the rods??
you'll obviousely need to make them protrude from the door edges, so may
have to re-mantle the lock to do that, but that's how i'd imagine them to
have got in there.

I've never come across one where the euro cylinder was attached to
anything. They usually go through a hole in a plate IYSWIM which
operates the bolts.

There will a long machine screw in the door edge at the same level as
the euro cylinder. Remove that, then put the key & turn it slightly &
it should pull out.
