Hi There,

My daughter managed to lose a house key today, so I need to change the
front
door lock as a precaution.

The door itself is a UPVC job with a "MILA" branded lock.

I've only ever seen old fashioned Legge/Yale type locks in the Sheds so I
guess first stop needs to be a reputable locksmith.

Is this an easy job (I guess it must be)?

Any advance warnings appreciated. Pix he

Eurolock barrels are easy to replace. The only gotcha is they come in
differing lengths at each end, so you need to measure the 2 lengths
either side of the middle bit before setting off. Also there are 2
different ways of describing the lengths, and they use the same
phraseology, so again you need to check what youre getting by
measuring. Once youve got the right one its a 2 minute job.

A 6 pin antidrill version, £17 instead of £6, reduces some house
insurance policy premiums, and may be required to comply and thus keep
valid some policies.

Thanks,

Well I extracted the lock and have taken a couple of pix to show the
locksmith.

discovered is fantastic)

I agree I will get a "premium" antidrill barrel. Am in the process of
renewing home insurance with a new company (getting quotes at the minute) as
I think I am being shafted by Zurich.
