lock&quay Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 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 .

Mick Friend Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 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 lock&quay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 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. lock&quay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lock&quay Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 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 .
