can you take the barrel out of a door handle and........?

[Doris]

I have the opportunity to buy a set of 'lockless' Bay door handles, not sure from what year or if they are both the same year... Q - can I take the barrel out of a Bay door handle and put it in any other Bay door handle (obviously not a pre 69 one), in other words is my 69 lock barrels & key compatable with any other bay handle or are there year / lock code differences that make it not fit/work?

any help much appreciated - Rob

Well i took the barrel from my sliding door handle and put it in a new one so i would imagine the same is possible with the other handles. They are held in with a well hidden grub screw.
