Lost patio door key.

We have lost the Key to our sliding patio door which is looked. The handles look like Trojan which I have seen on a web site. Before I call out a locksmith would it be possible to get a key to fit with out busting the lock out. Also anyone know approx what a locksmith would charge.

When we had a house with no keys for the windows, we used a firm called "handles and hinges ". We e mailed them a picture of the lock, one of their marvelous people looked at them, e mailed us to say what key they thought it was and the prices.
They were really cheap, 4 keys for £11 I think it was, tho it was 4/5 years ago.
Keys were sent out really quickly and they worked. Give them a go?
We had a jammed lock and no key in a door we got from eBay , calling out a locksmith and getting it unjammed plus a new lock cost about £100 I think. That was about a year ago.
Hope this helps.

If it is a standard euro lock then just snap it (google lock snapping)

Then replace with a anti snap lock . This would cost £20-£30 if you did it yourself or £100+ if you call a Locksmith out.

I suppose it would, never thought of that! Mind you, the burglars would have to be organised, and patient whilst waiting for the keys to turn up. Perhaps the firm doesn't do patio door locks, would be interesting to find out.
