French doors

paul-2008 · 2020-05-18 07:41:19

Hi, I recently purchased a house, it has PVC double doors at the rear of the house. One of the doors has a thumb screw to unlock the door and the other requires a key - however there is no key for the 2nd door. Is there a way to get this open/change the lock without drilling or calling a locksmith? thanks

without a key no because it needs to be in the lock to turn about 15 degrees to remove the existing lock.
You can remove the retaining screw but not the lock without the key
