Garage door lock - exterior
I haven't got a key for my roll-over garage door lock.
To open it, I need to enter the garage via the rear door and operate the interior door handle. What would be the best way to get this sorted? Locksmith? New Door? Drill? Thanks Jonathan |

If you want something interesting to do, take the lock barrel out - they are usually very simple with very few "pins". Get a key blank that fits and file your own key. Doesn't take long when you can see what the pins are doing. I usually find that I can swap the pins around to suit an old key that fits in the lock. That saves a trip to buy a blank. I also have a small drawer of pins of various lengths. |
