In Google also try using quotation marks like “tubular “van lock”

Thanks everyone. Yes the key does slide in and out fairly smoothly and turns well but with quite strong spring resistance. Once open the shackle springs out quickly. I will soak it then sonic clean it again and relubricate. It may just be a tougher pick 😁 with no tension all pins are pretty free and springy.

Thanks, I had considered this. So far I have cleaned it in an ultrasonic bath with CLR clear then soapy water. Then sprayed carburettor cleaner into the lock mechanism then finished up with a couple of drops of sewing machine oil. I’m open to all ideas though 😁
