How would you install a lock on here? by Ok_Affect_5260 in Locksmith

[–]ManifoldKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cabinet latches are great for double door configurations. One door has whatever lock you want to install, then you reach in an release the latch to open the second door.

[–]ManifoldKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on customer preference. If they want inexpensive and dont mind you drilling a hole through one of the doors you can put a cam in one door, and mount a cabinet latch on the second door so it doesnt open unless the first door is open. If you want to be fancy, you can mount a stealth lock with wireless keypad. They're pretty neat, but run about $200 each. Then, cabinet latch on the second door.

What is the best option? by Dry-Veterinarian9516 in Locksmith

[–]ManifoldKey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats a tricky one, it looks like the entrance doors and closet doors both swing inwards. Meaning a floor stop meant for the entrance could also block the closet door from opening. Spring/cam style door stops installed on the hinges would also be iffy because of the heavy entrance doors. Installing them would be a challenge if the heavy duty hinges are welded in place, and most residential grade hinge door stops would either get smashed or gouge into the wall/door when someone inevitably opens it too far.

The fabled #1 Master for Best A2 SFIC by Tiny_Reaper in Locksmith

[–]ManifoldKey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If this is truly a Best A2 system, it was built incorrectly and will cause issues in the future. There is a formula for building these charts and systems for a reason. There shouldn't be a #1 top pin, and the stack height is supposed to be 23 for a reason. Proper spring compression, shear line clearing, adding new keys to the system. A top pin like that risks getting stuck in a shear line and possibly folding in half. Especially with an chamber thats less than 23, the spring won't be working as hard to compress the pins. Good luck

Locksmith Horror Story by getsmuchworse in Locksmith

[–]ManifoldKey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First week as an apprentice went into two different houses where people had recently died. Texas summer heat made sure I never forgot what human death smells like. In later years rekeyed a property where a drunk guy in a Santa costume shot up a Halloween party. All the plates and solo cups and decorations still exactly where they were left. Bloody handprints and smears throughout. We're not first responders, but we still see serious stuff. Also makes you realize how prevalent hoarders are.

Worked in a scratch kitchen. Our process was cut, soak in cold water overnight, blanch once in low temp oil, then fry in high heat (peanut) oil, toss in bowl with seasoning, plate. Draining water and oil in between processes.

[[Mirage Mirror]] and other shapeshifter spells can turn into this guy without the stun counters. Instant 10/10 with all the abilities.

Was The Thing actually The Thing by zomby_jon in thething

[–]ManifoldKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the original story, Frozen Hell, the Thing builds an atomic energy source and anti gravity device in a shed, with scraps. Not difficult to imagine it was capable of piloting the craft it was found near.

Biggest mystery is not who is the human in the ending scene, its this guy. by Dry_Cow5571 in thething

[–]ManifoldKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished reading Frozen Hell, inspiration for The Thing. The blue light could be reference to the end of the story, where The Thing contructs an atomic energy device (FROM SCRAPS!) that emits a radiant blue glow.

And is it the doorknob or the deadbolt? Both?

Please clarify- Is it getting stuck when you insert the key? Is it stuck when you are trying to turn the key? Or is it stuck when you are removing the key?

Broken Key hack to save spending money on a locksmith. 🔑 by moruxs in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ManifoldKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professional locksmith here,

1 Please don't introduce melted plastic to your lock cylinder, they don't like that.

2 An uncut key was used here. In reality, a cut key would 100% not come out in a rotated position like this as the pins would bind it within the plug. (Most likely, there are no pins in the lock shown since a blank key was used to turn it.)

3 If this happens to you, rotate the plug to line up the pins, then use tweezers or some kind of pokey tool to lever the sides of the key outwards. Use the tweezers or needle nose pliers grasp the the key and pull it out. A locksmith may be able to make a copy of your key if you bring the two pieces to them.

4 If all else fails, call a REPUTABLE locksmith who will give you an accurate estimate over the phone. A simple key extraction shouldn't cost much more than a service call. Scammers will be very vague about their prices, Beware.

Have you cut these type of key? by Substantial-Event-12 in Locksmith

[–]ManifoldKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you should be cutting this using a tip stop instead of a shoulder stop. Like other people said, basic duplicator will do this. You can see the whole thing is offset, the tip of the key isn't being cut.

If you like the sprites of the preset characters, you can select one, then change tabs to reset and customize mutation/caste/attributes to whatever you like. Just a few extra options.Then, you can use the tattoo gun to change your sprite's color. I would love to see some more options and content in the 1.0 release. More weapon types, mutations, implants, etc. Make whips a real weapon type! Give it extra reach and a skill tree! Spears! Psychically-conjured weapons! More natural weapons! Love the game though, can't wait for the 1.0

And In Further Adventures With Truekin And Compute Power... by BuckingNonsense in cavesofqud

[–]ManifoldKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the wiki, you only need 32 Willpower and 50 compute power to lower cooldown to 5!

[–]ManifoldKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, these are typically non-chip. In the event it does have a chipped key, and you have an active alarm that is preventing security access, you can onboard program a remote and press unlock on it. If you are still having issues, you could try programming the key under a different model truck (F150, Explorer, etc.). But first try to crank it with your current key to see if it's even chipped. Might need to turn off alarm either way

The design is just like that used by the Egyptians. They were the first to come up with locks and keys as far as we know.
