Yale Rim Cylinder Replacement in Bennetthorpe, Doncaster

We recently replaced a Yale rim cylinder in Bennetthorpe, Doncaster. The customer wanted to keep the original Yale nightlatch but needed a new cylinder and set of keys. We fitted a replacement ERA rim cylinder and cut two additional keys on site, giving the customer five keys in total.

ERA rim cylinder fitted to the existing Yale nightlatch

We removed the old rim cylinder and fitted a new ERA replacement. The original nightlatch body remained in place. This avoided the cost of replacing parts that didn’t need changing.

A rim cylinder is the part you put your key into on the outside of the door. You can often replace it separately when the rest of the nightlatch still works.

Five keys supplied and cut on site

The new ERA cylinder came with three keys, but the customer wanted five. We cut two additional keys in our fully equipped mobile locksmith workshop and supplied all five with the new cylinder. This saved the customer a separate trip to a key-cutting shop.

When should you change a Yale rim cylinder?

A Yale key that sticks, snags or becomes difficult to turn does not always mean you need a completely new nightlatch.

Sometimes the cylinder is worn. In other cases, the problem may be with the keys or the lock body itself. We can inspect the lock and recommend the most suitable repair.

Changing the rim cylinder also makes sense if you have recently moved home or lost your keys. You can start with a new set of keys without replacing a working nightlatch.
