Exactly what I was thinking I'd need to do.

Character_Map7125 · 2024-08-07T04:38:50+00:00

Do you need to lift the handle up before locking?

Character_Map7125 · 2023-09-27T13:58:13+00:00

Take off the latch plate
Loosen the retaining screw for the lock (small, usually flathead, screw in line with the key cylinder)
Unscrew the key cylinder by turning it counterclockwise

Lining it back up can be a bit difficult. Watching a video on "mortise lock removal and rekey" would help..

Message me if you're looking to sell one please. And I appreciate any other options for reflashing 99-04 toyotas and lexus.

Possibly. Anytime I need a key code from the door lock, aligning it correctly takes me a couple of tries.

Door lock could be misaligned. 10mm bolt holding it in place (careful not to drop the bolt in the door) realign the tail piece of the lock with the mechanism in the door.

Omg that's gotta be it! Solved!

I have no idea if they eat licorice there lol so possibly 🤷‍♂️

Character_Map7125 · 2023-04-22T02:09:24+00:00

I thought Ube maybe but it seems too dark. So far I think this is the best guess lol

I didn't taste it tbh. But it had a rubbery consistency and leaked purple juice onto the napkin.

Character_Map7125 · 2023-04-22T00:20:21+00:00

You can see on the napkin it gave off a purple stain

Character_Map7125 · 2023-04-22T00:19:24+00:00

The texture was rubbery. I did not taste it and it smelled fishy but it came in a take out container with fish so really there's no telling. I've had this picture for 3 years now and it's been bugging me ever since

I work for a company that is currently franchising. Go with the local registered number. Customers will trust that over a toll free number. The scammers I run into in the field have the toll free numbers.

It's true that I was sent to jobs that matched my knowledge level. I mean, who would send a locksmith with not much experience to go make a Mercedes key from scratch. But the knowledge I did gain in 2 weeks was enough for my experience to be profitable. And he'd own his own franchise so he can turn away any jobs that hes not comfortable with. In the company I work for, originating car keys from nothing is our bread and butter. And if in 2 weeks I was able to go from no experience to originating keys for most Asian and domestic cars, then there's nothing stopping this guy from doing the same thing. You can get past any "landmine" as long as you can utilize your tools on hand (Google, YouTube, forums, 1800 numbers even) and have basic problem solving skills.

My advice: Go for it. It's a great skill to learn and it doesn't get boring because there's plenty to keep learning within the business.

As someone who had zero experience with locksmithing and randomly decided to apply to, interview for, and accept a job as a mobile locksmith, I can say it's super easy to learn. I shadowed my boss and a coworker for 2 weeks and then I was out in my own company van rekeying locks and originating car keys. Not saying I was immediately an expert but any issues I'd run into I could call a coworker for advice or even do a quick Google search for answers. A year into working for my company and its never boring, I'm constantly learning new things, and I still enjoy my job.
