Herald / Vitesse locking outer door handles

[Paudman]

I've lost the push-button and lock out of mine!!
For some reason it came out of a Herald sitting static in my garage, just fell out of a perfectly good handle and was found lying on the floor - so I picked it up and set it... somewhere....
I have other driver's door handles but no keys for any of them.
What are my options on lock replacement / key replacement? I've never seen barrels for sale separately as in the ignition lock, and my Gt6 has the lock separate from the handle so no help there.
I may (possibly) be able to get a key code off one of them, so who has replacement keys or cuts from blanks?

you can get the buttons and barrels from mick dolphin, if he has the time he may search one out that has youre  orig key number  if youre lucky  http://www.mickdolphin.co.uk/
look for 567017/18/19  approx £7.50
  give him a ring first

Thanks Pete, I'll give him a ring when he gets back from Spain where he's currently toasting....
if I could remember where I put the old one it would save a lot of bother!  ;D

As a quick fix you can use one of your other barrels, put your usual key in and file off the projecting bits.  Then it will work okay, but not be so secure.
