To me, both are pointing the same way but one appears upside down to the other, as though one is left hand side and the other right hand side.

I’m wondering if the locking sides aren’t solid separately and you have to buy the hole assembly new, the lock says nearly 2kg in weight.

You could make them an offer?

Yeah i saw it.. But when you zoom in the wiring has been messed with, so i'd probably be in same situation.. Apparently its a major fault with the wiring in the left side rotting or breaking
