Big big thank you my son had lost his key we followed your instructions but we only replaced the barrel so didn’t need to measure anything. Daughter in law took the barrel we broke out to screwfix and the guy was helpful and gave us the barrel we needed for £12.. sure we saved my son a couple of hundred pounds THANK YOU!!!

An international comment. Spain and Ireland! Hope it is of some use...i think it might be by the sound of it!

@isyt1 2 года назад

Good job. I think ideally you don’t want the cylinder sticking out the other side though as it makes it too easy to grab on to, to snap it (with mole grips or a short pipe I believe they use). What some crook did to me though was insert a screw in to the cylinder a bit and then use a claw hammer to snap/rip it out. Luckily my neighbour disturbed them but they still knackered the lock. Replaced it the next day with anti-snap/bump/pick 👍🏻

@charlieshooter 2 года назад

Thanks for leaving a comment. I think you're right about the bit of cylinder sticking out the other side though. I did try to turn it round but as the cylinder is symmetrical it still stuck out as much. Maybe a slightly shorter cylinder would have worked. Ideally though, yes, you want an anti-snap/bump cylinder in there to really be secure. Thanks for watching!

@P0EN1X Год назад

@sebastien79a Год назад

The lock may be asymmetric (as it is on yours) so the length of the lock isn't sufficient to buy a new one. You should get both the inside and outside measurement and note that some locks have specific in/out sides with snap protection. Also specifically do get a lock with snap protection as otherwise criminals can do exactly what you did, just leveraging the outside handle out as well - no access to inside required. A snap protected lock will stop this. Also some locks may have bars that make snapping difficult so that it's not one solid piece of metal - they may not have any snap protection cut offs.

@charlieshooter Год назад

Good advice there. Yes, the best advice is to get an anti-snap lock of some kind! This door went out in to an enclosed garden that no one can get to so it wasn't as much of a concern really.
