redben101 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Its multiple questions today.. How do i remove the the lock barrel from a rear door lock? Is removing the barrel lock the same on all lift up handle locks? I found one article about changing a barrel lock to fit your key, has anybody done it?

Paddy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 slightly off topic, but will the door lock barrels fit a locking fuel cap? had a quick look at mine and chickened out, seem to be ball bearings and springs set to trap the unwary. I know its unusual but it would be handy to have one key to fit all locks !! regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisoleary Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Anyone know how to change the barrels if you don't have the key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I'm not subtle , I rammed a srewdriver in instead of the key, popped the pin and wiggled the barrel out. I'm not reccomending it but its the way I did it. Someone else may have a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarv Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Anyone know how to change the barrels if you don't have the key? Well you can do what's shown in the first pic in the link I posted - drill a second pilot hole in line with the key slot so that the retaining pin can be accessed with the key still in the locked position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
