I've lost the key to the patio door which has a euro lock fitting. The door is in the unlocked state, but this prevents the barrel from being slipped through the door frame and fit the replacement lock. Is there a knack to this, or do I have to resort to drilling out the tumblers, not something I really want to do. Thanks in advance | ||

My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | The last time I replaced one of these it was necessary to turn the key to a certain angle so that the lock could be withdrawn. Alternatively, you could try picking the lock. (Not joking, should be possible) | ||

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Robbo is correct. You need a key to turn the lock barrel slightly and then you undo the small grub screw holding the barrel into the door. The barrel will then slide out as the tumblers are flush with the barrel. It certainly is possible to pick locks and a GOOD locksmith can do this. Bad ones will just drill them out. I hesitate to say this but there are guides to lock picking out there on t'Internet... | ||

As the door can be opened, I have already found and taken out the small grub screw to see if the barrel would slide out, which is when I found the retaining design of the lock. Damn, I hate drilling locks, metal filings everywhere for cats paws to pick up. | |||
