Hello! Sorry for posting it here, I know this forum isn't about it, but I need a locksmith as I lost my keys to the shed, I can't use my garden tools!

Roughly where in the UK are you, not much use recommending one in Yorkshire if you're in Plymouth.

Shed locks are pretty simple, usually using standard keys.

I am in Colchester. I have a upvc door for the shed and a eurolock so I can't use any key I want. Maybe I need just an advice, maybe there is a way to open this door somehow. I would like to find a locksmith in Colchester, as good as locksmith new malden. I've used their services a couple of times before I moved in Colchester. Any Suggestions?

Could use a sledgehammer. Works OK for Burglar's. :wink:

Drill a 3 mm hole into the barrel this should destroy the tumblers that move up when you insert the key if this doesn’t work drill the key way out using a 10 mm bit
