Hi everyone. This is always such a good resource - am hoping to get some advice.
I replaced my old cylinder lock on the back door as I’ve not had the keys for years and it’s only 1 star. It’s a 45-45 cylinder though isn’t flush either side- I think I could go 40-40.
Either way I ordered a 45-45 3 star cylinder lock off Amazon and fitted it. It’s very similar in style and shape to the original one but I’ve noticed that the lock doesn’t fully close (sticks out by about 2mm). Am wondering what I need to do to fix this and/or if I have to get the exact same brand as the original?
The first photo is with the new lock- the others are the original cylinder.
Thanks for any input.
