Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the barrel of a Yale
lock and still use the original key.
My question relates to our block of flats where the lock on the main
entrance door is worn and difficult to open.
Replacing the lock with a new one and a new key would require issuing
70 new keys to the residents.
Thanks

a good locksmith ought to be able to do this. I've certainly had a barrel
rebuilt to an existing key. Mind you that was 30+ years ago and the art
may have died out.
