Its the Euro barrel that is faulty. There is a cam in the middle that will have moved into the wrong position so the easiest thing to do is replace it.

The cylinder is faulty - either due to its age and wear or due to a poor quality cut key being slightly too short. Either way the central cam on the cylinder has slipped half a turn.

Only sure fire solution is to replace the cylinder.
