Door locks and barrels wanted

My drivers door lock doesn't work at all. If you turn the key it drops the plunger but pressing the button simply opens the door. I've dismantled the the lock and barrel and there appears to be an awful lot of play.

So therefore Im looking for a set of front door locks with keys.

I'd say that was a linkage adjustment inside the door, or failing that the lock mechanism. It won't be the barrels.

There is an awful lot of play in the barrel. I did buy a a replacement lock mechanism thinking it may be that. The arm on the barrel does push the arm down but pressing the button simply pulls the barrel arm back up. Surely this should be locked in place?

If that's the case, remove the doortrim and the barrel, and then manually operate the shaft (the one that the barrel is supposed to move) and if it all works fine then it's the barrel, if it still does the same thing it's the lock mechanism or the adjustment.
