I wanted to replace the eurocylinder from my upvc door. So i removed the retaining screw but it was not budging. So removed the door handles and gave a lot of taps from a hammer and then it came out.
Now when i try to put a new one, it goes halfway and stuck. When i peep through the hole, there is no misalignment anywhere. Clear allthrough. When I hammered again along with wiggling the key...it went in another 3-4 mm. I can see that the retaining screw hole is now 4 mm away but no amount of hammering is helping it to move inside.
I suspect there may be a grub screw after reading the forums. Tonight i will try to see if there is one. I am doubtful because the existing lock came out...
But what i want to understand is how does a grub screw hold a eurolock since there is no additional hole in the cylinder other than that for the retaining screw.
