    You looking for a cam lock. And as stated above any decent locksmith type shop should have them in stock. Should not cost ya more than a few euro.

    I dont have the key to mine so cant rewire the buttons, any handy tips to open without a crowbar?

    Can you take the screws out of the door and take the whole thing off?

    I dunno, unless there is a number on the lock, sometimes they have a number on them that corresspond to the number on the key that opens it.

    No key, maybe there is goodies in behind that door.
    Drill straight through the lock with a 8-10mm SDS bit, will take about 1minute:D

    If this is a lock similar to the type on laptop security cables(the one on my cab is very close to the kensington style locks) then maybe you might open it using the old toilet roll insert trick.



    I have opened many many locks with this trick over the years after users have losts keys ect.
