Or get a Eurolock cylinder that works even with the key in the other
side...
I see I was unclear in my upstream post: Cylinders can be bought
either way. The more expensive ones can be changed over, though this
may require knowledge and/or tools to contain tiny springybits,
and/or small precision bits to exchange. (Disassembly tends to be
much easier than assembly!)
Won't DIY work of that kind invalidate the kitemark, and thus your
home insurance?
changing a like for like type cylinder wont
putting in a less secure cylinder might
I don't know what kind of certification a "locksmith" would need, to
maintain the kitemark status.
changing a cylinder in an open unlocked door is easily DIY-able.
It requires almost zero skills. Just knowledge of the "trick"
None of those sounds like "disassembly", with tiny springy bits.
