    Euro cylinder locks mostly used on upvc doors

    Absolutely.

    As far as I know they are pretty much solid brass.

    I put them in with my brass pile and the scrap yard accepts them

    Should be worth something like £2.50-£3 a kilo.

    Yes, anything that is solid brass, or 90% brass, it should get about £2.50 per kilo or slightly above that.
    Easy to have a lot of weight in brass.

    Ignore him. Just one of the regular Trolls that get banned eventually and reappear under a different name

    Brass is my absolute favourite scrap metal!

    So much of it knocking about.

    And it mounts up much quicker weight wise than copper

    Locks, handles, taps, basin wastes, trims, valves, fittings, lights the list goes on.
