I transferred my lock from a broken handle, and there were fiddly little
springs etc which you have to orient and reinstall correctly; don't drop
'em!

Be very careful reinstalling; my lock barrel eventually came loose and fell
out on the garage floor, losing the spring etc, so I'll probably have to
get a whole handle/lock from the US or Australia to fix it, as there are no
parts available in NZ.
