There was a guy in Oregon that mad a manual pull handle to replace the cylinder. He also had just a rod with a set screw. Swore he han his locked all the time with no problems.
Sorry, don't remember the name of it. But it was a tee handle with a wire inside of a spiral wound cover like the controls on a lawn mower.
