New Lock Barrels

[Crackers211]

Hi people. I'm after advice about new lock barrels please. After my girlfriend used my Beetle key to open my Van by mistake I have realised that any key (even my front door key!!!) will open all the locks.

Does anyone know if you can buy a new set of lock barrels that are matched to one key and if you can put them in to old handels???

Cheers

Problem is most likely the handles too

What happens is little segments wear grooves in the barrel bore in the handle and eventually they can be opened by near enough anything

To fix mine I bought replacement handles then rekeyed the new barrels to the existing key using a mixture of new and old segments

When I noticed this on one of my locks it turned out that someone had removed all the tumblers from the barrel, remove one and have a look
