hi
need help the yale lock in my front door won't open since locking
it last night so I can't use or open the front door. Does anybody know
how to get the lock out without breaking the door or calling a locksmith?
its a union that has a hole with a piece that you put your key in and
it has a dead lock on! (you turn it twice) does this make sense?

1st of see if you have nudged the latch down/up a bit and thats stopping it then maybe some wd40 in the hole.

hi
thanks but its not attached to the back of the door its built in,
all that is sticking out is the piece you put the key into.

hi
well good news my daughter and I have forced it and got it open so now
laura is fitting a new mortice lock, thanks john I had a look at screw fix
but its none of those.
its very strange type of lock a mortice but the barrel is a dead lock ? you
can turn it twice. Well I have took it out and its rusty.
Why did I think it was a yale lock? sorry stressed.
