Replace Yale lock wothout a key
 

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

Do you mean a Euro?

The dorr is currently locked.

With the standard night latch Yale you can still open the door from the
inside and remove the lock. Then just buy a new barrel and keys.

But I'd guess it's a Euro on patio doors if they're the PVC sliding type.

I'd first spend a fair bit of time trying to pick it as unless you
drill it correctly,you might create a lot more mess/expense for
yourself.

Picking a lock is nothing like as easy as the films would have you believe.
I know a few escapologists and picking locks is a last resort with them.

Bought a set last year, so far haven't managed to open anything :-) but they
are a good conversation piece, i.e. do you know what these are?

However I have drilled out a couple of yale locks when keys were lost...
but not had to try any euro locks yet!

I had to drill a Euro out a couple of years ago. Took about twenty
minutes and a bit of swearing. Luckily it wasn't one of the sort with
anti-drill devices!

Providing he has access to the inside of the door, it will
take a locksmith about 5 seconds to remove a locked eurolock.

I know a few escapologists and picking locks

....what exotic aquaintances. I think an escapolgist would carefully
select his lock "here's one I prepared earlier" with more than half the
levers missing.

What, conversations like "I'm arresting you under section 25 of the
theft act for going equipped to steal, cheat or burgle"?

How is a euro less secure from the inside? Assuming it is a double
cylinder.

Not 'exotic' if you have been a semi professional magician for the past 15
years. Most of my friends are ever so slightly weird and that's the way I
like it!

You could always get a locksmith to come around in his "spare"
time, i.e. non-emergency. Does it have any anti-drill features,
I wonder?

Its a funny subject is lockpicking, theres probably more myth than
truth written about it. I'm not an expert at it but have picked a
number of them, all quite legally. Honest. :) I dont follow the usual
published advice, which seems more bragado than anything, as it takes
some skill to use with any serious success rate, and there are easier
ways. These are less glamorous, and no-one would make any money or
ego-boosting out of telling people how..

The simplest foolproof way to open a euro is to drill it. A 5mm bit
should open it in a minute or so. Its also worth trying any and all
keys youve got, you might get lucky. I doubt its worth buying a picking
set, not unless you want to take a significant interest in the subject.

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.

no-one really wants to say. If we do, there are more people that can
break in to our houses. And then prosecute us when we boot them out.

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