The new lock is now ordered, as the company can't guarantee how it would be sent to Namibia we've decided to get it sent to a UK address and then courried onwards. Thanks to Dug for agreeing to be the middle man on this!
The people at Oppi-Koppi in Kamanjab have agreed that we can have it sent there - so it's going to be a 3 day trek across northern Namibia, but worth it for the facilities that they have and the fact that they understand our issues - great to know that they're there! They tell us that deliveries from Europe can take 3 weeks to arrive - hopefully it'll be quicker by courrier (but I'm not holding out on this...).
