How to unlock french doors without a key
open locked door without key - replace euro cylinder lock
what's going on guys I'm bill and
welcome to Bill's hell - today I'm going
to show you guys how to remove a euro
cylinder lock from your door when it's
in the closed position we don't have the
keys it's also locked we've got a viewer
out there who's a little bit stuck
he's got a similar problem no keys doors
in the lock position so by having it in
the locked in closed position that means
we don't have access to the locking
screw at the back of the Euro cylinder
previously I've shown you guys how to do
this when it's in the open position but
a very good question a very common
problem to have misplaced your keys when
the door is actually in the lock
position I've come across so many times
people try and put screwdrivers down the
back in between the door here and also
try and pry it out with the crowbar they
do a lot of damage and majority of the
time they don't even open up the door so
today I'm going to show you guys just
how easy it is to do we're going to
remove this one here open up the door
and then replace it with the new Euro
cylinder lock let's do this
so first thing we need to do is remove
the cover plates okay so we've got one
screw down the bottom here on the inside
and one on the outside sometimes you
might find both screws on the inside
this one here is one on the inside one
on the outside so we remove that screw
I'll go to the back of the door and also
remove the one on the back here same
thing from the outside the rid of the
cover plate and then we'll come back
inside and remove the cover plate off
this side also so if we have a look now
we've got full access to the Euro
cylinder it's still fixed we've got the
locking screw holding this into place
from the back we've also got the wing on
the side here which is a locking cam
that's also holding it in place so it's
nice and solid
not going anywhere so what we're going
to use is a pair of multi grips if you
haven't got some multi grips you can use
also an adjustable wrench you just want
to lock this up over onto the top of the
cam and make sure that's nice and tight
so in this case we're going to be using
some multi grips or you want to do bite
onto the side here get a nice good grip
and then we're just going to bend it
back towards the back of the door so
we'll just hold onto that bend it back
and you can see there that's now cracked
so if we have a look quickly at the Euro
cylinder we've now snapped the backside
here off we have a look from the outside
same thing you can say to a bent on the
back there what we're gonna do now is
we're going to focus on this side here
once again multi grips on and we're
gonna go in the opposite direction this
time so once again a little bit of
pressure in the opposite direction and
that's now come off you can see there
we've got a clean cut right down the
middle the only thing left inside now is
their cam and also the locking screw so
a bit of a close-up for you guys you can
see the screw up here
that's our locking screw and then we've
got our cam down the bottom so what
we're gonna do now once again feed that
cam out push it up the other side and so
wants to turn around that's now pushed
out the other side and that's all please
now we take a flathead screwdriver
and usually you can unlock it from the
locking mechanism here however because
we lock this one here with the key prior
to removing this gyro cylinder we need
to mimic the movements of the cam so if
we have a look down the bottom here
there's a little black pin if this will
focus for you guys you can set our black
section at the back silver pin down the
bottom we're going to push that black
section in and then just simply push
down on the silver bit you can hear that
little click and now we've opened up the
locking mechanism here so we take our
screwdriver up onto the top nail this is
usually where our lever would be turn
that over and the doors going to open up
we can now remove our locking screw and
we're ready for the new cam to go in so
now we take our new cam slot that one in
place turn the key over so that now it's
holding in place we'll take our locking
screw whine that one out thread it on by
hand at first then we use a drill that's
how nice and tight we'll take our cover
plates
and the outside screws go back on
so inside screw here first and then the
outside and once I stand the only thing
left to do is to test out the door
everything is in working order so there
you have the guys that's how to replace
your euro cylinder lock if your door is
stuck in the locked position
