Help with Keyway identification

[andye]

First post folks. Very new to this exercise.
I've had a new renovation that's been running for a couple of years. One of the things that was fitted early was a door. I never needed to use the door and assumed it was keyed the same as all the other doors that were fitted at the same time by the same supplier.

ASS-U-ME was the mistake.

The keyway is different to all the other doors because the door locking mechanism is different.

The locking mechanism is a Roto Safe H I think. It's stamped Roto and looks like this https://ftt.roto-frank.com/en/products/ ... lation-10/

Anyway I think the cylinder is knows a "Euro Cylinder Door Lock". I've looked around and the keyway appears to be also know as a "Mul-T-Lock" https://www.mul-t-lock.com/en/site/mul- ... -cylinder/

The issue is I never received a key even remotely looking like this. I can open the door from the inside via the manual handle so to that extents I can secure the door but I'd really like a key.

Do I need to replace the lock barrel or can I take the barrel out and get the code off it somehow so a key can be cut?

The cylinder itself is unmarked with a brand.

Your advice is appreciated.

Below is the actual locking side of the barrel.

It would be much cheaper and faster to remove cylinder and buy another cylinder to match the other doors.

Removing the lock and taking it somewhere is not going to get you a code unless your locksmith shop can pin Mul-T-Lock locks and can cut that type of key.

Are your other locks Lockwood? if so you can get a euro profile cylinder in your common Lockwood keyways such as C4

or walk into locksmith shop and say you need a euro profile cylinder keyed to your existing keys for the other doors.


Important: When you remove that cylinder, measure it so you can order one that is the same length in mm

Hope this helps,

Thanks Squelchtone. Sound advice.

The other barrels are "Lockwood" like. So yes common keying throughout would be better.

I was also concerned when they weren't delivered as a "deadlock" but as "cylinder and turn". Wasn't given the option of "double cylinder". Not a deadlock but still stops the doors being opened without a key from either side.

Might do a wholesale replacement.

Thanks again.
