New house, new door. Door needs locking with a key from the inside, this annoys me because I need to find a key to open it and I'm lazy, also firey death might await the whole family if keys aren't to hand, mainly laziness though. If there is a key in the inside I can't unlock from outside because the key is a couple of millimetres from fully inserting, if the inside key is straight and I do a bit of jiggling I can unlock it. Question is, if I get a new key (yale type) cut and file the point off the end, do you reckon I could just leave it in as a mostly permanent key? I reckon getting a new lock with a twisty knob on will cost a fair bit more.
