Hi all, new here...
As per the title I have a upvc front door and last night as we were leaving the barrel came out with the key! I've looked all over the net and various forums and can find many posts about stuck keys and such but in my case the middle part of the euro lock has fallen out inc 12(ish) gold pins leaving the remaineder of the cylinder. I'd happily replace the cylinder myself but the door is locked shut and the cylinder / barrel on the inside just rotate all the way round.
I suppose my question is.. Short of taking the door off the hinges (if this is possible) how do I get my door open to replace the euro cylinder? The door is brand new and was replaced by the previous owner around a month ago
Really appreciate any help,
Regards..
Matt
