Hello team,

I hope I struck gold when I found this forum.

I am in need of some expert advice please.

Unfortunately, I snapped my key in my locinox gate lock cylinder.

I have attempted to use tweezers to pull the remainder out, but to no avail. Pliers are too big and a magnet is too weak. It is very much stuck and I am quite sure I'll need to replace the cylinder.

But how? I cannot find an explanation anywhere or a tutorial video on this particular model I have. There is not easy access to simply remove the cylinder out. My only idea is drilling the cylinder out and pulling the lock, but then I don't understand how I'll reinstall one?

Please could someone assist? I'll attach photos for clarity.

Thank you in advance team.

With most Locinox locks, you need to take the lock off the gate to acces the cylinder screw.
But first, try to straighten the core with the broken key, and try to push it out with another key from the back side.
