    Well i managed to get the lock out today and it would've been nearly impossible without taking the handle out, but no big deal. Then I couldn't find even one store that sold a replacement lock (even online) i dont know why. So after a while of soaking it in wd40 i decided I'd just take it apart and see what i could do. Turns out once you've got the lock apart its actually a pretty simple little thing. It took a few hours of messing around with it but i fixed it. It was something that looked like a tumbler but couldn't be taken out. I just had to press it in a bit move the tumblers around and give them some smooth motion and then reassemble it. Works fine now. Any way thanks for all your help guys. I appreciate it.

    Good Job. Bonus points for doing this yourself instead of taking it to a shop
