I plan to take the switch to a locksmith and have a key made, but I can't get it out. The retaining nut won't back out over the lock cylinder. I'm prepared to cut the nut with a Dremel if necessary, but I thought I'd seek less destructive alternatives first. If there's a way to forcibly remove the cylinder without damaging the switch, that's OK too. I'm willing to replace the cylinder and door locks with a matched set instead of hiring a locksmith.
Any suggestion from those who've gone before?
regards,

That option hadn't even occurred to me.
Thanks.
Can I get them at the Oct. Inliners mtg?

The 5th one let me get the cylinder out.
Now I have to figure out what I want to do about the locks.
Thanks a bunch, I'll bring them back at the Nov mtg.
