I can tap a thread but not sure if there are replacement screws? Or if anyone knows the size and length I might be able to tap and screw in another one.

Even after a good clean my barrel would not allow the tumblers to push out when the key was removed, too tight with corrosion so ordered a new one.

I need a new grub screw too, the tip that retains the lock has snapped off so I’ve had to ‘lock’ the barrel by over tightening the screw, so back to using the button on the inside :(
