Iseo Keys

    I have a PVC front door with Lockmaster locking devices and Iseo lock barrels. I have one original Iseo key and and about 4 spare keys which were just cut in a local shop, all about 6 years ago. Everything worked fine up to yesterday when we came home after being away for the night. The front door unlocked normally using the Iseo key and locked from the inside as per normal but I cannot unlock the door from the inside using any of the spare keys, if I unlock it (from inside) with the Iseo key I can then lock or unlock it easily with the spare key(s). I can lock and unlock on the outside with any of the keys. The one "major" difference that I can see is that the Iseo key is 2.3 MM thick whereas the spare (spurious) keys are all 2.07 MM thick say 0.2 mm or "8 thou" ins thinner. I read some older posts here where people were looking to see where they could get Iseo keys cut, should I try and do likewise?, I live in Cork City. Thanks.

    It might be just as cheap to change the lock cylinder as you get 3 new keys with that.
    I assume it's a euro cylinder.


    Worth noting that a lot of the iseo euro cylinders are pretty weak and can be broken into quite easily.

    If you have ISEO locks, its worth changing them now to anti-bump and anti-snap. No security is worth a damn with rubbish locks

    Thanks for the advice, I will have a chat with a well known locksmith on Monday and see what they recommend, mind you, looking into the door when I had the lock barrel out wouldnt exactly fill me with confidence either but I suppose at the end of the day locks (and doors) are only made to keep out honest people.
