yeah its upvc type thingy lol havent rung around but thats what twin valley have quoted me, it was my bro who lost all the keys, everytime i gave him one he lost it, hey not to worry

make him pay for new lock then see if he loses keys again you need back door to open in case of fire

Whe i lost my keys i got a friend to fit new lock (although did have a key so it was easy for him to do) the new lock cost me £20 but i dont know if that is what it cost them or they put a bit more on. I know theyve to drill the barrel to get it out if there is no key which might be why it cost but I would ring round and get it sorted at some point, you never know when your gonna need to use it lol

Hi glasgow guy

There is an easy way to drill through Nori brick, I first of all regrind masonry drills so that they are like drills for steel, then switch the hammer action OFF, thats what buggers masonry drills up. I reground all mine, from the smallest at 5mm to the biggest at 22 mm which is near 3 ft long and never had any more problems, just occasinal regrinding, before the drill bit gets hot, a lot of people ruin their electric drill with blunt drill bits.

and if it wasnt for the fact I am building a pergola swing for the baby boy I would do it for you...not much help to you I know - but maybe your as well as phoning an odd job man in the paper to do it..save a lot of faffing about..

Hey, youve got someone to fit your tap, how come I could never find anyone to hang some wallpaper for me (only wanted 1 wall doing but I dont like ladders) Its just not fair lol
