How to change & measure a euro cylinder lock in a upvc or composite/wooden door. 

Why can't all 'how to' videos be as clear & concise as this.. Perfect sir.

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

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 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.

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.

I want to say thanks a million. Key broke got cylinder out and tapped it on the floor broken key out. Saved almost 100 euro.

After 8 year of uploading this video I checked and changed cylinder lock ❤ Thanks

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. 👍

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 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.

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....at last I found someone that knows what they are doing...Great help I did it and I am a women.

Just what I needed as I prepare to upgrade security. Thank you.

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 !!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

Excellent instructional video and well shot. Thank you. This should save a young family a fair few quid!

Amazing on the bolt, key to release it. . . Saved me a fortune so just bought a set of handles. . Cheers

Thanks for a straightforward explanation of what to do. Greatly appreciated.

Excellent video. Nice and clear instructions. Thanks very much. I’ll be changing my locks tonight.

Great video guys. Replaced my lock this morning. Took minutes and saved me a pretty penny

Great video - I was struggling to fit mine but after watching this I had it done within 20 mins. Many thanks

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!

Thanks, just what I needed and saved me a fortune changing two locks.

That’s exactly the information I was looking for thanks pal 🎉

Great video, cheers very much ,easy fix but I didn't have a clue.

Great info bud As quick as you described Very much a straight forward prosess Thank you

Huge thank you for sharing this - very simple but told me everything I needed to know to get the job done - cheers!!!

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.

Easy Peasy I also did my two Garage doors ,little bit different but just as easy ,

Nice work thanks brother. I decided I’m not paying a lock smith COL crisis

That was a clear and very easy to follow instructional video. It fixed my problem. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to make and post a video, great help 😊👍

Great vid - got what I needed in the first minute and 15 seconds

Excellent video with easy to understand instructions.

Perfectly explained

Super and Great video. I am not a good DIY person but managed totally understand how to, Big thanks.

Thank you sir, another door secured

Simply way you showed how to do this very good video

Brilliant. Thanks so much. Three doors to do, saved me about £200

Wow that is easy. Thanks for a great video, got an eviction to deal with so a lock change is coming!

Thank you so much this helped me a lot. Love you

Thank you very much, I appreciate!

Excellent and highly informative video. I'm off to the lock shop.

Exactly the information I needed - Thank You.

Do you have a video on how to change the handle please (where the new lock centre measurement is slightly different)?? Thanks

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 RU-vid video on that

Big thanks. Saved me £60

Great. Well explained and easy to follow instructions. Thanks.

Great video, well done.

well explained, very simple, thanks a million

Great video spend £10 got a new lock with 3 keys and it took me around 10 minutes to replace thanks

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?

Nicely done.

Excellent. May God bless you.

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

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you I save 110 pounds.

very helpful thank you

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??

Thank you! Its educating. How can i change it with out a key?

Thank you, didn't know it was that simple

Awesome video thank you

Thanks, really helpful

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 ?

Excellent video, great guys thanks

Thank you for the video. It helped alot

Unbelievable how easy it is to change a barrel lock but didn’t know you had to measure to make sure it fits properly

God, brilliant, what am I doing being a brain surgeon, I'm now all retrained as a locksmith, Thanks, ps great video

Thank you.

Thank You so Much for Showing this.You are Class.

excellent tutorial.

Gracias muy facil!!!

Does it matter if the cylinder is slightly too small in length? Thank you in advance any reply much appreciated

Great video ty

With our lock a key cannot be fully inserted from the outside when a key is inserted on the inside. If someone left their key in the door then you're locked out. Can I change my cylinder for one which doesn't have this problem?

Is this the exact same for Yale locks in upvc doors. I'm tempted to do this as it looks so simple but always end up getting it wrong :(

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👍

does it matter whether shorter/longer side needs to be pointing inside/outside the house, or inserting either way ok?

Thanks
