Steve,

What grade of lock tite should be used.  three times I have increased the
grade of lock tite the next one I believe is the one above blue?

TIA

The reason the lock plug (barrel as you termed it) came out was that the
retaining screw was not treated with a thread lock compound (ie lok-tite)
upon re-assembly.  This is really necessary on most VW locks using retaining
screws.  It's use is standard procedure for any locks I service now.
