Right I have a secondhand door with a handle but no keys.

My door has half a motorbike stuck in it and I think that the lock is bent. Now is it possible to remove the barrell from my broken dorr handle and put it in the secondhand door handle that I dont have keys for?

I dont really have an alternative becuase if I get a new door handle I am going to have two keys for both doors that are different.

Thanks

Speak to robin at custom and commercial, if you send him a key, he will supply a barrel keyed alike so that you still have one key.

I would maybe get a copy of the key before you post it as he took a couple of weeks to turn mine round.

He cant change the barrel?

It is possible to change the barrels over. You will need the original key (to line everything up when removing).
If i remember rightly, when I did mine there was a small pin running through the handle and lock assembly that had to be knocked out first.
