This handle has just sheared off. A quick google search hasn't clearly shown an identical item, although I'm not sure what an undamaged one looks like until I can fish out the broken off bit. If I can get the correct part:

1. Can I swap over the lock, so I can use the same key?
2. Is a lock included (pictures seen to indicate not)?

Anyone replaced theirs?

Thanks...Keith

Their are 2 versions of handle... depends on age of van. We got replacement from Brownhills ; googled a special key to take the old lock out and put the lock in the new handle so we had same key for all. Was q easy .. Sarah off watching footie [she was one who did that ] Let us know if you want more details will delve into memories and spare bits for van fixes if need be xx

I had the same issue in Belgium a few years ago and fortunately we were not far from Campirama who had one in stock.
I subsequently bought a spare from Brownhills just in case it happens again. It doesn’t come with a lock barrel and you need a special key to remove it.
Campirama changed ours for us.

I did mine a couple of years ago, i got a new handle from Brownhills and a red key from ebay to swap the lock barrel over. Mine is 2004.

This may be the key you need to swap the lock over but check it's the correct one for your lock.

Thanks folks. Mine's the newer handle. £72 from Brownhills :-(. Strange that the replacement doesn't include the locking arm, but I still have that so all good.

I'll have to investigate what the key lock is so that I can find the right key to swap it.

My key is one of these FW001 to FW949. I thought it prudent not to identify the exact one :) It's a "high-security caravan key". I think it is a Silco key. I have no idea what Removal Key will get the barrel out. Anyone any idea?

I may have answered my own question. I just found an FW removal key that looks the right design.

If it helps anyone else, the problem I had was with my 2013 Hymer. The lock barrel in the locker handles can be removed with an FW Removal Key, which I got from "replacementkeys.co.uk" for £15.90. It was, indeed, a Silco key.
