How do I remove the barrell from a door lock

I need to repalce the barrel as we have misplaced one of the keys.

This is a PVC door with built in bolt for secure locking.

I can remove the outer and inner handle and remove a screw which secures the 
barrell.
The barrell comes loose but will not release.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes you need to use the key to turn the inner lever to the closed
position.  Just put your key in as normal and turn it while pulling on the
lock. It should come out then.

Its a screw in the end of the door near the latch
make sure you buy the right replacement lock
they come in differeing lengths
Screwfix stock a few of these.

Sounds like a Euro Cylinder Lock.  Does it look like this?

If so, insert the key & turn to approx 30 degrees pulling as you do so.

You've removed the machine screw on the edge of the door, in line with the
lower middle of the barrel yeah? At this point the barrel should feel loose
but won't come out.

Insert the key and turn from the normal 6 o'clock position to either 5 or 7
o'clock (can't remember which but just +/-30degrees) and the lock should
slide out.

Euro locks have an offset cam to resist removal without the key and this
will bring it in line with the body.

Not so rubbish, the OP had mentioned that he had removed the securing screw.
