  • have you tried squirting some silicon spray into the key hole on the euro barrel from both sides also take the handle off and spray where the screw goes into the euro barrel.is the screw holding the euro barrel philips or slotted ?you might find if you put a screw driver in especially if philips bolt and hit the driver with a hammer while turning it may just help in its removal.

  • I would have just hit the lock with a good lump hammer and chisel.Then use the new lock to open door.or better still depending on what locks are on it use a screwdriver around 12 to 15 inches from the bottom of the door to open the locks.

    Most of the locks are crap anyway.

    hope theres no theives read this this sort of advice should surely be sent by pm:confused:

    I don't think thieves use this method any more.

    And to be quite honest you could weld the door shut and it wouldn't stop entry to the property.I say no more;)
