Locksmith Stories 023 - screw in cylinder lock ashford

---

 A customer in Ashford (TW15) got in touch for help replacing the front door lock. 

 I first attempted to pick the lock using manual picks, but it wouldn’t budge — and with my electric pick gun out of action, I wanted to avoid drilling if possible. I opted to try bump keys instead, and after several careful bumps, the lock turned and I was in. 

 The original key-and-key screw-in cylinder was replaced with a high-security 3-Star British Standard model externally, paired with a convenient thumb turn on the inside for easier operation and improved safety. 

 The new setup offers far superior protection and simpler use, especially in an emergency.
