Depends on how such money you want to spend. There is a conversion box for the Chubb/Union 114/115 mortice lock. It will plant on to a door that can not receive a conventional mortice lock and the strike plate will plant on to the frame. It is made by Bradley Rose and can be seen here:-...

Nice to hear, thank you for letting us know the end of the story. Happy locksmith, a good job done and a happy customer appreciative of the skill and service provided. Nothing better, if only all of life was like that. DC Teamlocksmiths.

Have a look underneath the handle. Is there a allen headed grub screw ? Or try placing a screw driver on the screw that is halfway out and giving the screw driver a tap. It should force out the captive nut on the other side allowing you to grasp the sleeve and finish unscrewing. DC Teamlocksmiths

I think finding a local locksmith is probably your best bet. Should be less than £ 100 to include a quality british standard five lever replacement lock. As you hint that your DIY skills are perhaps not great I can see you spending over that amount in tools, parts, time and effort. Ask...

The window lock key you want is http://www.windowhandlekeys.co.uk/html/forma-aluminum_window_handle_k.html Ask at your local key cutters or locksmiths. A very popular key. DC Teamlocksmiths

It is interesting that there appears to be little damage to the door its self. I would have expected to see marks on the door where a screwdriver or similar tool had been inserted to lever off the handle. Have a look at :- http://www.squirelocks.co.uk/html/cylinders_snapsafe.htm for the type...

This rim lock is meant to be installed either to the left or to the right hand side. As it is at present the upper bar is only working by gravity if it were installed on the other hand (upside down) the lock bolt would just slide in and out. It should be spring assisted. The springs (it is...

Interesting question. Several colleague’s have told me that they see it on occasion, but it is difficult to quantify as a well "bumped" cylinder is left with little signs of the "bumping". The failings of the cheap euro cylinders that proliferate the market are many. This why my heart sinks...

Just reread "euro will only operate a multipoint lock" euro profile cylinders operate many types of lock: Garage doors, padlocks, gates, sashlocks, rim cylinders etc, etc. DC Teamlocksmiths.

It would depend on the keyway and type of cylinders that you wist to use. ie if your old night latch were using a standard 5 pin yale keyway and your euro cylinder was using the same 5 pin keyway they could work under the same key. Best advice is to ask your local locksmith, tell them what want...

Hi, The picture that shows you holding a screwdriver is a scandinavian oval. They are available as a single cylinder external or a pair external and internal or an external cylinder with a thumb turn internally. See http://www.abloy.co.uk/Products/door-cylinders/scandinavian-oval/ for some...

Have a look here:- http://www.dgsupplyline.co.uk/results.php?category_id=10&sub_category_id=67&range_id=207# But what a price ! Check that the dimensions are the same and the handing. They will supply to the general public but you should enquire from a local double glazing co or a local...

Do you know the version of euro*spec you have ? They are marketed by http://www.carlisledesigngroup.com/index.php?page=eurospec It may be that you have introduced into the cylinder a piece of grit that is stopping a pin moving. Try a good squirt of something like WD40 (not oil) and push/pull...

Yes we all are guessing, trying to offer advice without viewing the offending article. May be Smarty should offer a reward for the best guess. Get the camera out. My guess is still the plate/cover they can be a real frightener especially if they have not been removed since installation. DC...

Best guess is that you are looking at a push on plate. Small flat screwdriver at the bottom and see if it will lever off. Plate comes off to reveal fittings. DC Teamlockssmiths

I have never seen a single euro thumb turn and a quick look through various catalogues tell me it is an unusual request probably because you would have to deal with blocking of the exterior hole. Why not a double euro with thump turn?. No outside hole to block and easy open from the inside...
