Bill,

I replaced my door handle a year or so ago, but I have forgotten the exact procedure to swap the lock cylinders. However, it should be pretty obvious once you know that you know that you need the key that matches the lock cylinder that's in the handle at the moment. In other words, the lock pins keep the cylinder captive until the proper key causes them all to line up.

If you don't have the key, you may want to have a locksmith change out the cylinder or ask your local burglar to pick the lock for you.

I received my sliding door handle today from Adam Puzerewski. It was exactly as described. Thank you, Adam. Now I need to figure out how to change the lock cylinder from my old handle to the new handle. Anyone have any hints?

Bill
