Question:

Old Dexter lock with no key - need to replace cylinder?

I have an old dexter lock with no key. Its to an older style deadbolt. I'm trying to either re-key it, or replace the inside cylinder. I already tried the hardware stores to find a cylinder with no luck. I'd rather avoid paying a lot with a locksmith, so any advice out there? Anyone know where to buy a re-keying kit maybe online or in stores? Anyone know of a website where I can buy a new key cylinder for an old dexter lock? Again, I'd rather avoid a locksmith shop if I can.By the way, this is an older, odd-shaped deadbolt. It's not a standard hole, its smaller. I do not want to just put in a new deadbolt, and I don't see this size anymore in the stores, thats why I want to keep this deadbolt hardware, but just re-key it or replace the inner key part.Thanks!

Answer:

Uhh yeah, like every night. I always end up holding it and then like peeing for 30 minutes straight first thing in the morning.
Papo, There are batteries inside those things. I do believe what you are hearing is the low battery alarm. Those things are telling you to put new batteries in them. Take the covers off of them. You'll see the batteries right inside. Good luck.
Yeah, that's why they invented rubber sheets.
All the time. I always seem to wait until I'm about to pee myself to go.
Yes everyone has. its early in the morning my bladder is just going to have to wait. To keep it from happening I just don't drink anything before bed.
