Title: Drilling out a barrel lock
Post by: cardiff_gareth on August 01, 2007, 14:27:24

Got a roof box and I've lost the keys  :(

I've drilled out the lock so that I can get to the pin at the end so I can now open and close it, only problem now is I don't know how to get the old lock out :oops:

I've ordered a new lock from the manufacturer.

Wait till the new one arrives. Having it to hand may help you wor out how the old one comes out.

you should be able to increase the size of the drill bit and the lot should fall out, or fall apart, just be careful not to damage the surround.

Ive heard dent pullers (slide hammer) are good for removing barrel locks. Dont know if they cause damage or not.

If you take off the back cover of the inside of the lock you should see the back of the barrel just take off the criclip and/or screw and the barrel should pop out

Hi Graeme,
I was thinking of that but its a sealed unit, was thinking about dremiling into it and then arolditeing it back up afterwards, thats the only way I can think of doing it. Just don't want to damage anything behind the plastic :(

If it makes you feel any better I lost the keys to my old 200tdi (no spare, clever eh?) broke into it with a metal rule (frighteningly easy) broke the ignition and swapped all the locks over from my range rover. Found the keys 3 weeks later in my sock drawer, my 3 year old Joseph put them there, what a little star.
