Also so the dog doesn't jump up and grab the latch which her indoors is paranoid about.<br />Mind you, both are on the same key, I have an ABS yale cylinder on the yale lock, and a ABS euro cylinder on the deadbolt. All keyed alike. Same with the rest of the locks in the house.Alexis Threlfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792447399167532389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-14421792072866070662015-09-22T22:53:44.520+01:002015-09-22T22:53:44.520+01:00No idea what my insurers would make of this.

Take the handle off the outside and just have the euro cylinder stick through. Then you can overlock with the euro cylinder with a bolt, and also unlock the latch by turning the key the opposite direction once the bolt is unlocked. So in a power fail situation you can still get in. Is that possible with your lock? If a fuse blows internally, can you get in?Alexis Threlfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792447399167532389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-15974009465286941572015-09-22T07:40:31.825+01:002015-09-22T07:40:31.825+01:00ES8000, I have updated post to include a link.ES8000, I have updated post to include a link.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-25333817416881064322015-09-21T18:56:47.736+01:002015-09-21T18:56:47.736+01:00What are the locks you mention?What are the locks you mention?BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094771762419613272noreply@blogger.com
