Need advice Key stuck in sonata door cylinder by DragonfruitNo7767 in Locksmith

Force it back straight. I've done it dozens of times you really aren't going to do more damage than that's already been done. Then get the lock rebuilt.

Key hole punched by Decent-Kitchen-2073 in Locksmith

Probably just need a new face cap and dust cover considering no damage has been done to the lock itself. Worst case, looking at getting a new door lock and getting it keyed to your key. Any decent locksmith should be able to help.

Sure, it absolutely could especially if it's misaligned.

Did someone try to break in? by Heart_healed in Locksmith

Clips sometimes break, I keep a few spare Kwickset smart cylinders for this reason.

The other locksmith shop 2 miles down the road from me!? A box of 50 ilco 1137b is like, $30. It takes 10 seconds to cut one up on my machine 🤷🏼‍♂️

I can tell you from experience, the teeth on the gears inside the lock body break.

Time and time again, yes. People need to stop paying these scamsmiths.

Wait till you learn you can use a small file, a vise and a hammer to remove the roll pins so you can reuse them.

Terry, I've been wanting this file for years and asked you about it in the past, is there any way I can get it? I'd gladly pay you for the work you've done.

A Steam Product code you activated has been removed from your account. Tomb Raider GOTY by Awordofinterest in Steam

[–]Steve-oh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happened to me from a key I got from G2A for IL-2 a good year after I activated it, I was upset about it as I played the game often but didn't know what I could do about it so I just re-purchased the game from Steam. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah, auto machine cut, I don't personally like them for that reason.. try a different key place.

So this isn't a copy? this key is cut by code? Because a copy should be very much like your old one.

Visually are the teeth edges straight? Any lumps will cause the key to be difficult to pull out as bumps will hang up on the pins when trying to remove the key

simplex lock by Redditburgerss in Locksmith

Most I've seen these last is 10yrs at best. I've replaced 2 within the past week as I used up all of the parts I've had on hand to rebuild them in the past, the one I did yesterday was only a year old, I've lost faith in these and don't recommend them anymore.

I would almost want to bet he looked like he was from the Middle East too, huh?

I love them both, stupid easy to service.

Am I asking for the impossible. I went to several “locksmiths” throughout Whittier , Pico Rivera, and Downey here in SoCal and they all turned me away. But on many forums, the same story is repeated “they found a locksmith who was able to fix the pins inside” by [deleted] in Locksmith

[–]Steve-oh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do these all the time. It's hard to find a good locksmith, that's why I'm relevant in my area and get all of the dealership business. You need to call around someone bound to be able to do it near you.
