How do I take out the cylinder barrel of a upvc door without a key?

I've lost the key to my upvc door so can't take out the cylinder barrel which stops me taking the whole lock out and replacing. Is there a way I can do this without the key?

How do I remove the barrel of a my pvc conservatory door when it is locked and no key. could I take the door of the hinges and do it that way. ? Will it come off with the door locks on?
cheers

Call a locksmith as he will be able to remove and replace easily. Inexperienced drilling can make a mess and cost more.
