jacko Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi, Got to replace a 3" sash euro lock case with 150mm radial fore plate. Trouble is it's fitted to metal door with fore plate rebated. The lock is the one where you just remove foreplate and turn latch to change hand of lock. I seem to remember coming across this brand before many years ago, I've done all the usual searches with no luck. Wondering if anyone here has info on them. Foreplate missing so I have no brand name. jm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkD Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah, not enough info and there are specialist locksmith forums for this sort of thing, It's hardly key cutting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of you lockies on here pick like that or is he ultra good? I've been playing/practising with some locks with a few successes but I think it's more luck than skill in my case!!

MarkD Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Maybe we could have a locksmith section on here, it just doesn't seem to fit in the key cutting section. Any lock can be picked given time and a comfortable chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Sorry, I thought there was locksmiths on this forum. There are, Can you supply a photo of the forend, what colour is the case, what are the centres, backset ? There are a lot of euro mortice sashlocks that have pull and twist latches, there are some that have a 2mm forend plate and when removed the latch will rotate freely. The info you have given is really basic. Maybe we could have a locksmith section on here, it just doesn't seem to fit in the key cutting section. I have suggested that in the past but cannot remember the reason for it not being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrkeys Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I think that the reason there is not a locksmith section is because the subject is so closely related to key cutting. Much in the same way that we don't have a stitching and patching section ? All that stuff just goes in the shoe repair section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Black, standard euro sash lock size ie same dimensions as Era except foreplate radial[rounded at top and bottom, and only 150mm long. To change hand you remove fore/face plate turn latch then reinstall face plate. I never took a picture cause never thought I'd have difficulty sourcing one. I've tried all my usual suppliers Aldridge, Duffells, SKS without any luck. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 with radiused forend it is likely to be an architectural lock so that it can be slipped into a door following the lock pocket being machined. It's a shame about the picture as it would be so obvious http://www.jewson.co.uk/tools-fixings-ironmongery/ironmongery/security/euro-cylinder-lock-cases/products/HWES2660/eurospec-din-standard-architectural-radius-forend-sashlock/ http://www.asec.co.uk/asec-din-standard-60mm-euro-sashlock-radius-forend-en-gb/ http://www.briton-hardware.co.uk/Briton-Door-Controls/436/5520-60-R-SS-Sash-Lock-60mm-Backset-Radius-Forend-/ http://www.uniononline.co.uk/en/site/union-online/products/mortice-locks/the-professional-range/strongbolt/22eu---euro-profile-cylinder-sashlock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfern Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Like most things, anything can be done for a price and what sort of timeframe your customer has. I personally hate having to hunt down a lock with no name or markings for hours on end. Whatever is the most important aspect concerning fitting the lock, ie faceplate/forend dimensions, bolt location, I would concentrate on and then alter anything else that needs altering. If the handle spindle hole or the cylinder hole needs enlarging a good step drill works really well on steel doors if done slowly with lubricant. Like I said cost and time restraints may come in to play. If not lets all keep playing find the lock. Good luck mate. grahamparker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
