Yale 3 Star superior Euro

[lock&quay]

Not so much of a key but cylinder question, When removing one with the customers key it obviously only goes in & comes out one way , But it only moves about 15mm & will not budge ,It's on a Anglian door & want to check there isn't something else stopping it's complete removal ? cheers .

May have a cylinder guard attached too.

Something like this

as said it may have a secondary fixing to prevent snapping or if it's one of the super yales it may have the anti pull thingy on the outside

Remove the handles, poor fitting can trap the cylinder and stop it coming out and it will allow you to see if there is anything stopping removal like a cylinder guard.

ive seen ill fitting circlips sitting down on cam which would prevent cylinder being pulled from door

carry on!

loosen the lock screws so you have a bit of latitude

Not having done domestic call out stuff for 7 years I wasn't sure if there was some spring loaded ball bearing thing that was stopping it come out of the caseing ..& I needed some special gadget ..I did take the handles off , It must be a circlip getting caught ..Thanks for all the advice .

It turned out that the retaining screw only went halfway down the threaded hole & there was also a grub srew in it sticking out the other side that required a allen key to undo , I've never seen this before .
