Had fun tonight with my dad trying to get a couple of eurolocks out
(no keys)... Didn't really want to snap them if we could help it, as
we (ok, I) didn't want the guts falling down the locking mechanism.

Managed to snap drill bits in both sides of one cylinder, and ended up
with an angle grinder on the f*cking thing. Eventually managed to
remove the entire mech out of one side, but still had murder turning
the cam to get it out - took almost 2 hours...

The other one was a doddle comparatively - again, started with the
angle grinder to remove the bulk of the lock, then drilled below the
tumbler pins - took about 6 mins.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but we'd had a new suite delivered
today, and because they couldn't get it through the front door it was
left in the back garden - luckily the rain held off !

Harveys - gotta love them. These are the people that told us the
corner suite we ordered had been redesigned into 3 pieces to make it
easy to get in, so we didn't need to cancel the order.

What they failed to do was employ someone who understood that a corner
piece with permanently fixed back rests is basically a cube - if
they'd simply made back rest detachable it'd fit through almost any
doorway, and could have been done in two pieces.
