Eurocylinders

Curiosity question:



Can you get a "keyed alike" eurocylinder made up from an existing key, rather than bought as a set.



This will be E*S barrels.


You can with Avocet/ABS cylinders, I was going to have a master with two keyed alike sub-sets so I could keep all house keys safe while letting someone have a set of garage/shed/garden keys, and only carry a single key myself.

Most "internet" locksmiths said they couldn't do it, I did find one "proper" locksmith who could do it - CTS Ironmongery - quote was a bit steep though.

Cheaper on the passing charge but more expensive on the locks. I was quoted £281+VAT for 3 locks keyed alike, another 3 locks keyed alike (but different from the first set) and two master keys, with the three types of keys in different colours.

Do it yerself, rekeying cylinders isnt hard. One of the wiki lock articles talks about it fwiw.
