    I found using a sewing needle pushed through the gap and then I can slide it from both sides to move the pin worked great. Thank you for the tip.

    Hi Bill I have not tried it yet but this is exactly the situation I am facing, having lost the keys and getting to the point where the bit has fallen sideways. Now I know that I can use a " shim" and fish around until I have slipped it back into its slot. Many thanks, big guy you are the best.

    Yeah great advice Bill 👍. As my lock tab was seized up I ended up taking the door off turned it upside down used a small screwdriver and hammer to tap it around to 12 o'clock.
    Cheers, Keep it up 👍👍

    A bit of WD40 also helped loosen the rotating latch. I used the metal file on a Victorinox Swiss knife to nudge it around.

    hi bill, nice vid. but i thought id add some extra info for the viewers because reading the comments below iv noticed a lot of mention where people are getting stuck because the cam wont budge. seems you just jumped ahead 1 step from the beginning. the reason the cam wont budge is because these particular viewers are trying to remove the barrel after they have just opened the door- which means that the handle has clicked back and is still clicked back, if so the barrel cam wont turn unless the the handle is in the forward/closed position. plus 1 other tip which is alot easier is under the barrel where the handles screws where , if you look up in the whole you have much better access to the cam and you can use any tool up to the thickness of a normal sized phillips screwdriver to turn the cam.

    Hi Bill.
    One question.....
    Were your key hanging on the inside of the door?
    I don't know about the euro cylinders down under, but the only way( in Europe) what you did is possible is if the key is in the lock in the inside of the door,which kind of defeats the point of the video . in Europe every euro cylinder i own have touched or picked ,the cam will only turn if one side of lock is open, with a key a comb or a pick.
    The reason I ended up watching your video was because I was researching, trying to make a tool to bypass directly to the cam, I know they exist but I had never seen one, and the reason they exist and I want to make one is , if it is going to take too long or you can't pick it open, the cam won't turn and if the cam won't turn , you cannot change a lock without a key, without force or damage.
    The one exception I have come across is a company called " Tesa"
    Where the cam does not stick out in locked position the 8nly thing holding it in is the screw,, when you remove the key the cam is inline with the lock body, I am thankful for this , because Tesa for some reason from all the locks i have tried ,is the only euro cylinder I cannot pick open, they look the same as most of the others , but they do not feel the same inside.
