cairanvanrooyen Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 My boat has a really solid Yale lock on the rear doors, when the lock closes, a pin grips the lock and the doors remain solidly shut. Problem is, we didnt get keys from pervious owner - so want to replace like for like - does anyone know where to buy these from?
zenataomm Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Being Yale, it's probably worth taking it to a good locksmith, they should be able to fit a new barrel and key or even form a key for the existing barrel.
Pie Eater Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Take the complete lock to a good lock and key centre and they may be able to get keys to fit or supply a matching lock. As zenataomm said.
TheBiscuits Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 You could always ask the previous owner to post you the keys!
luggsy Posted November 19, 2020 Report Posted November 19, 2020 Take the lock of then undo the screws/bolts that hold the barrel take the old barrel out then fit a new one half hour tops

Sir Percy Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 I had to get my sister to bring one over from the States. Called a 'jimmy-proof lock'. I've also been looking at electronic (remote-operated) locks with a similar mechanism called a 'tiger-claw'. Not such a great idea as they use batteries.

However, the lock itself looks like it might just be screwed into the wooden lining in which case the screws could come out fairly easily if the door is prized open with a large screwdriver or a crowbar. A lot of boaters make the same mistake. There's not much point having such a good lock is it's poorly fitted, assuming it is screwed in. Anything screwed into wooden lining is vulnerable but if you're just mooring in a secure marina you'll be fine. Edited November 22, 2020 by blackrose
