I have lost the key to our upvc conservatory door.Have tried to take the euro lock out by removing the screw but cannot get the lock out.The door is unlocked fortuately but I do need to get the lock out to replace it. Any help would be appreciated.

if you don't need the lock drill the barrell out, a drill the same diameter as the width of the key should do it.
alternatively if it prodtudes out of the door far enough grind as much as you can off with an angle grinder then simply use the tip of any key to turn whats left enough to slide the lock out (i've done this).
I'm not a locksmith though so someone may come up with a better solution!

The only way is to pick or snap the cylinder. when snapping the cylinder it will be eaiser if you take the handles of first.
