- I'm looking for a door lock that is opened from one side using a
splined key but I want one with an individually coded splined key ,
not a universal Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy one?

all those I've been able to find on line use the same universal key

Thanx
Tony

Either Chubb or Era do a splined lock with a removable key (like a small
cylinder key)can't remember it's part no offhand.

Seen 'em, but all the keys are the same for any lock. I'm looking for
one with a different, individual, key.

AFAIK those sort of keys are all universal - I could be wrong, but I
think if you want an individually coded key you'll need a different lock.

This might suit your needs:

Not as simple to fit or as cheap as the basic cylindrical ones but it
uses a cruciform key very similar in shape to the splined ones.

Hi Alex
unfortunately, it's just the same thing made out of toughened saw &
drill resistant material. To quote what it says about that item,,and
add some asterixes::
"Hardened bolt giving added sawing protection. Metal sleeve around key
mechanism giving added drilling protection. 10 Year Guarantee,
***Universal Key***"...

David must be right.
I think I will be able to make one out of a universal one by filing
off some splines on the key and filling the corresponding socket with
solder, or something along those lines.

Thanks

Tony

Its a lock barrel that fits into a door bolt in place of the removable key.

YES THATS THE BUSINESS!
It is ordered and on its way.
What a clever simple design.

Many thanks to Neil and Dennis and everyone on the thread,

But surely it is only a matter of a few seconds work to remove 2 screws, and
your back to the universal key again, sort of defeats the object doesn't it?

It's only really to provide a deterrant so that family members don't
readily wander into my room while I'm away. It'll do the trick!

On the inside of an exterior door, removing these locks will represent a
couple of minutes' delay, and that would deter almost all casual
burglars. That alone is enough to make fitting them worthwhile.

Obviously, a determined burglar with plenty of time would not be put
off.

I would also be tempted to fit them with security head screws that
cannot be easily or quickly removed.
