  • This. Some people don’t realise how ridiculously easy it is to change a lock when you can open the door with a key.

    1. Put the working key into the lock

    2. Undo this screw

    1. Turn the key slightly back and forth whilst pulling the cylinder out until it starts to come out. Then just pull it all out.

    2. Mark which side was front and back

    3. Measure from the middle locking mechanism of the cylinder to the ends.

    4. Find a lock with the same lengths. It’ll be like 60/40 (100mm total length).

    6b. Optional: get one with a fixed turnkey on the inside.

    1. Replace lock by reverse.
