Replace a yale cylinder on a UVPC door without key

[Jonny Vee]

Hi,

I got my internal porch door which I 'm unable to find the key anymore. The door is already unlocked but the cylinder won't come out as usually the pin inside keeps it stuck.

On youtube, a guy snaps it on both sides but to be honest I'm worried to apply a lot of force as I will be damaging the door.

is there any other method without spending a fortune on a locksmith to get a simple cylinder replaced?

Thanks

What kind of lock, a eurolock?

If I drill out will still be inside as the pin keep it inside.

Would use drilling as last resort to avoid any further damage to the door but in case will have to drill what the guy is using to open it. Don't understand the tool in his hand to open it. Anyway the cylinder is still inside and not showing how to come out.

Bit confused, it's unlocked, right, so you need to get the retaining screw that holds it in? correct?

Eddie, he has lost the key.

He has also lost the 'thanks' button.

So? it's unlocked? Though I suppose it may well be in the unlocked, but jammed position.
