Yale barrels

Devizes2008

Hi
I recently bought a Yale 3 star barrel for one of my doors and am impressed with it. Now I'd like to buy a second barrel for the other door. I'd also like to be able to use the same keys set for both doors.
Can someone please guide me to a shop which can get me a Yale 3 star euro cylinder? I tried a few and they either don't work with Yale or they just never come back to me.

If you want two barrels that use the same key, you'll need a specialist locksmith - Key matched locks & barrels will cost a bit more than standard off the shelf items.

I used AC Leigh a few years back when I needed 4 key matched locks. Searching online turns up a few companies that can supply "Keyed Alike" barrels starting from around £15 each.

You’ll need to get two new barrels. Nobody will match the existing one.

Good friend of mine who is a qualified locksmith always refers such locks as "too pass"

ie two yale locks "too pass"

I'm no locksmith but I've not heard this phrase "too pass" - I wonder if it's possible it could refer to a situation where you have two locks and each has its own key and that key only opens that lock but you can also have a key that opens both lock so maybe it's "two pass"

I'm sure I've come across situations where someone has a "master key" that opens more than one door but each door has its own key that only opens that door. Just a thought.

Some hotels / guest houses have keys that open the front door and a particular room

Keyed to pass, also known as keyed alike,

Search of the Internet, shows all locks have the same key, not individual locks that have their own keys, and a master key that opens all the locks
