Barry,

I replaced my lock cylinder and it is not a difficult job. Especially since you obviously know your way around. I didn't have to worry about any resistor values etc. because I bought a blank cylinder and transferred everything over. I actually changed my tumblers over so I didn't need to have a separate key. A locksmith can do this if you are not comfortable with it, but it was pretty easy. I will dig around and see if I can locate the documentation on it. I took pics etc. and started to do a full write up, but never finished it.
