Any ideas where to look.. I have torn stuff all apart. Looked everywhere. Cant find em. the thing is, I PUT THE DAMN cylinder in about 4 months ago, and i know you need the key to install it... And i put the keys somewhere so i wouldnt forget. AHAHA...

That sounds like a great idea, but i have nothing. No keys.. WEll, i have 2 hidden somewhere, but i cant find em. LOL.
