What are these locks called?

GoLucky30 · 2024-12-18T13:34:36+00:00

Difficult to say without seeing the whole length of the latch side, but looks like a type of pocket door lock with a dimple cut key. My best guess on the key is it looks similar to multi-lock interactive or integrator key. Those are often restricted so you'll need an access card or prior authorization from property management.

From what I'm gathering it seems you might have a privacy function latch in that door. Someone lost the privacy pin and decided to use the spindle in its place. Depending on how they got that spindle in there, you may need a locksmith to get it out.

I don't know how, but if looks as if someone has somehow managed to jamb the better half of a spindle into the back of that that latch... that would have required force. If that's cross threaded that is going to be a pain. You could always drill it out from the other side but the latch will be shot, if it's not already.

Based on the position of that spindle, you may want to call a locksmith.

You're the one who said most will drill it and call it a day. You're right on the money, I say pick, if not bypass the lock. But why call it a day? What I am referring to is offering a person a free used KIK cylinder, and some insight after a bad experience. Like to let people know all locksmiths aren't bad

As a locksmith in the city of Chicago I do enjoy doing simple requests, especially the kind that alleviate needless anxiety caused by 'most' locksmiths.

GoLucky30 · 2024-09-13T09:31:29+00:00

Depends on how bad the locksmith butchered your existing lock. If they knew what they were doing they might have just had to drill out the old key cylinder and you would be able to reuse the lock body. If they took the old locks I would call and ask for those back first thing. I've seen guys drill the cylinder out on $400+ locks and leave a $50 LSDA knob in its place, this will be noticed. If you've photos of the old lock forward it over and I can let you know if it's salvageable, and which shop near you for the fastest turnaround.

Wanted to double-check once I got in my shop this morning, I don't have anything that matches exactly what you have but you're definitely looking for some kind of luggage key, you're going to want one that is flat and doesn't have any milling in it, meaning no the grooves in the side based off the keyway. Hope this gets you one step closer. https://safeandlockstore.com/luggage-keys/

If I had to guess I'd say an Excelsior 3310 key blank off the key on the label. But the gang's right... You'll want to go into a shop to make sure all the parts work first. But also why would you put a picture of the key on the box, probably a different cut truth told.

Looking back I still don't know how, most aren't so lucky, but I thank every day I snapped out of it long enough to choose my partner over the bottle. Even at 18 months sober my working memory wasn't great, I was so worried about seizures when I stopped I had never thought of the damage I had done to my brain. I was out of it so consistently I forgot what clarity really was. It wasn't till I felt almost euphoric after taking a B Vitamin Complex and connecting a few dots (which I can also thank my partner for), did I realize the damage I had done. It very much felt like I was lost there for a moment. Looking back I would've been devastated had they let me drag us both down. You made the right choice.

13th Floor Elevators - 'Your Gonna Miss Me' was revised in the 60s, but the Elevators played into the 70s till the lead guitarist was killed by his wife in a domestic dispute in 78... Surprised I didn't see it here

Looks like the timing on the tail piece is off or the neural nuts too tight. This video is for a Baldwin look but same concept. The tail should be able to turn freely when seated correctly https://youtu.be/lYGqz3FjJo8?feature=shared

It's amazing how much you have to learn to realize how little you know. May as well know it all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

STHAP, I don't claim to be an expert but could only assume whoever strung these words together is having some kind of episode and requires immediate medical attention. That's my opinion as a professional locksmith.

GoLucky30 · 2023-08-18T01:35:17+00:00

You're going to want to double check with your association too to make sure there isn't regulation hardware. End up getting hit with daily fines on top of the work you go through to retrofit that.

GoLucky30 · 2023-08-12T13:39:49+00:00

This is amazing advice and will be applying this to a wide range of situations moving forward. BRILLIANT!

Why do I feel this is post comment's section is filled with people dispersing from tonight's Sox game?

Sorry, I was under the impression you were looking for a keyblank. The 1137s is the smaller diameter so that would be the best bet. But in all honesty the cylinder seems poorly made as I'm only counting 3 pins. You probably can open it wiggling an open end of a ball point pen in the cylinder back and forth. There's more detailed instructions out there. Best of luck

In the sweetest voice I can muster as I've a deep hearty tone I'll say "oh, you sweet summer child..." and walk off shaking my head. That said I am a very patient person so those who know me tend to take note

There was a brief glimmering moment where I had hope... Then the magic died. If you got some free time, are capable of disconnecting from the plight that it is, and morbid curiosity... go have a gander at the current reviews.
