Hi
I need to replace a Yale lock in my patio doors but I do not have the
key.

The dorr is currently locked.

I have reoved the lock surrounds in the hope there would be a lock
number which would enable me to order anew key but I can't see a number
.

Is it possable to get a new key without having the old one?

How do I replace the lock without having the original key?????

Cheers


easy to drill if you know what you are doing, could have some hardened pins
but I doubt it.
As someone suggested drilling a bloody great hole can only make it worse.
There is another very quick but drastic way but you still need a wee bit
know how.


Isn't snapping them with a mole wrench the lattest thing?
