Thanks for this. Had a lock Smith come out and tell me he would need to remove the entire metal strip (middle) at a cost of @£100 to replace my lock. (That guy part of a glazing company has also lost my whole house window replacement deal) Saw this video and did it by myself on 5 mins.
So many times I look for guides on youtube on how to do something, and I end up with someone talking too techy / camera work not showing what needs to be showed etc etc This was a perfect job for something that was about to cost me a lot of money. Thank you!
Great video.I am not a good diy person but managed to help an elderly neighbour secure her door by replacing her lock at cost of £9.Could not have done this without your help,BRILLIANT
Great video! I was a bit worried about changing the locks but after watching this I went straight out and bought a new lock. I changed mine in about 2 minutes!
Thank you for sharing this. You explained it perfectly, very steadily, and including every bit of required detail. A clearly shot video with no distracting music in the background. Very professional. Much appreciated, Martin (South Yorkshire)
Thank you so much! Perhaps the only video which shows how to properly get the dimensions and get the cylinder instead of taking it apart and rushing to the vendor with a physical sample.
Thankyou !!!! Woman living alone with child here. Ex partner refuses to give keys back and maybe even had them cut. I didn't want the embarrassment of police involvement so little me watched this video went to screwfix and sorted it successfully myself. Thankyou !!!!!!!
Very informative video. Saved me getting a locksmith out. My old barrel was worn out and luckily I had 2 spare barrels in my toolbox from a lock change I did years ago. Done in 5 minutes. Many thanks...Mark. 👍
Thanks for the video. I read how to do it on a website but they made it sound complicated so was considering getting a locksmith until I saw your video. I wipped the cylinder out in under a minute. Thanks again.
Brilliant video. My key has just jammed in my lock cylinder and now snapped off. Watching that.....well a sigh of relief. Thinking I'd have to get a locksmith. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for this video. It saved us calling out a locksmith. I didn't realise before that it would be such an easy job made straightforward by your instructions.
Thank you for your fab tutorial, I can't get a snapped key out..tapping the indoor key into the barrel..has made the key not locking Properly...so hopefully I may get a new barrel from b&q hopefully this will solve the issue...thank you again you have been really helpful.
Thank you very much for this, was extremely helpful. Just measured my door locks and going to change them myself thanks to you :) - Will order them from your shop for your efforts!
Thank you for this video. Couldn't figure out why the barrel wouldn't come out and it needs to locked (its a bit fiddly). Tip from my lock provider is to ensure the barrel is flush with the lock/handle cover - that way the would be thieves cant so easily get a grip of the loch to snap it. Also, mine was in its own cage so the handles needed to come off.
I got a replacement lock recently it was the right size but either side of the middle of the cylinder it had a small metal bobble sticking out not one my other lock and so it would not fit in the round hole and so I had to take it back so be aware of this
I've got one where it appears that the handle also needs to be removed. Some sort of inter locking mechanism. Have you got any videos on the sequence I would need to follow to replace the euro cylinder on that type of door. Can't seem to find anyone doing a RUclips video on that
Great Video, my fixing bolt (that screws into from the side to secure the barrell) goes into the door frame should I just find a longer screw and cut it down to size, Im not sure if something has been lost from the inside
Most fixings bolts will cut down. As long as the euro cylinder feels secure in the door when screwed in, this will be fine. It dosn't need to be too long. LKS Team .
Just replaced my lock with an anti snap euro cylinder, even though I measured it, the handles sit too proud now of the lock externally. Is this a problem? I know if the lock sticks out too far it can be snapped but what are the potential problems for one that sits 3mm or so too short? I suppose a screwdriver could be used to pry the handle off but still it wouldn't make much difference as the new lock is anti snap. Do I need to buy another handle or another lock?
I have just got two new 3* cylinders for our doors, however, there are two `lugs` either side and near the cam, and these stop the cylinder going through.Have I bought the wrong ones or can these lugs be filed off - what do they do??
Nice video .. my conservatory door when I put the key in I can't turn the key around full to open it ,it's like I turn have to pull the key out a little then turn its not easy as I'm guessing how much to pull the key out also I noticed the handle has a space in it ... come away from the other part not sure how to explain better either out a pic .. do I need the lock and handle ?
If you key is snapped off in your lock use a small watch screwdriver and turn until you can release your barrel in effect you still have your key! It takes a while be patient👍
Why can't all 'how to' videos be as clear & concise as this.. Perfect sir.
