Key hole drafts

powercharge

Has anyone else experienced a draft coming though their keyhole?  I think my door is pretty well sealed, but I feel cold air where my key hole is.
Any recommendations on what to do about it?

Thanks

Plenty of other types available, just Google "brush strip keyhole" and you'll find them.

Depending on the type you can get draught excluder covers for key holes.

It'a a normal key hole barrel type. Don't really want to drill hole in it to attach a cover...

if it's a barrel (cylinder) it isn't a normal keyhole.
There are 3 types - euro, oval & rim - which is it?
If euro you could try https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154342437864?

Should it be a normal keyhole & you don't want to  drill you could try https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyclaire-Keyhole-draught-excluder-eliminates/dp/B01DSWX1V6/ref=sr_1_2?

If the door isn't used much like my patio doors, I just put a blob of blutack over the key hole in the winter.

If its a euro barrel, you might just need to take the handle off, and silicone the gap around the euro cylinder.  The manufacturers of the doors rarely do a great job of the hole, aside making it too big, as demonstrated in this picture:

Think I found what I'm after on eBay

No, the one in your link is a push fit, will probably get lost in the first day. Also my lock is flush so that wouldn't work. This one flips up and down and just sticks on. Ordered some, will report back on how effective they are
