I want to avoid employing locksmith (costing maybe £100), as I have non-professional friends who can do so.
I wish to put in Yale lock

Any new lock kit will have instructions, my only advice is to read them all the way through prior to doing the installation. Removing the old lock is a piece of cake just find and remove the screws. Actually installing the new lockset should be relatively easy as you do not have to drill new holes in the door.
Good luck!

It's easier than you might think. Go to the store and find a new lock - most come with instructions on removal an installation.
Good luck

An instruction booklet generally comes with the lock. If not
either look it up on the web, or contact the place where you
purchased it.
good luck

Hello,
here is how to do it,
1)get the appropriate screwdriver.
2)loosen the screws holding it in place.
3)completely remove all bits and pieces.
4)follow instructions on how to install.
5)if the new lock does not fit ,you have to drill the hole out bigger.
6)they make door lock installation kits for around 24 euros

All the different brands of lock-sets I have ever worked with came with instructions in the kit.

Usually, there are instructions that come with the locks. If it is like the one you are replacing, chances are you won't have to make any adjustments.
