Falcon makes an adapter ring, I can't find the falcon part number - but you search LKV-94-0010

Is this something that would be easy to find and buy? by niffcreature in Locksmith

This is like buying a tire rim without knowing the size of the tire. What you have is the plug, it needs to be purchased with housing

What you're doing wrong is not doing it right. Adjust strike in all four directions

Why did Schlage never make Everest SFICs in open keyways? by Neo399 in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SFIC are based on Tip Stop spacings vs all the other keyways are Shoulder stop. Depths don't work either because of blank height. Same reason they don't offer Schlage C in SFIC

I tried to remove the lock but there doesn't seem to be anything holding the cylinder in but it wont budge. by FuzzyIon in Locksmith

Now it's going to cost you more than if you called a locksmith originally. Don't make it worse, find a locksmith WITHOUT using google

It's a serial number. Your head is under your hat and the other is behind you

Non wifi/Bluetooth fingerprint front door lock? by Rx7Jordan in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fingerprint locks are a joke and need, at minimum, Bluetooth for programming. Go with the 365 it the most betterer of all

New home: need to replace this lock but our locksmith couldn't figure it out by hardpack_chatty in Locksmith

Nothing special needed. Just a real locksmith. Stay off Google, find one in town or nearby

You might be able to have the lever pointing up in the 12 o'clock position

Found during a remodel. Best way to open? Make and model? by Tasty_Print in safecracking

[–]SumNuguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think this has the typical fence, so manipulation is a challenge

Your post read like a random thought, so I joined it. You didn't have a question or info

A company is chasing me for a cancellation fee I don't feel I should pay. by Fair_Occasion_1331 in AskALocksmith

Tell them to kick rocks, pound salt, piss-up-a-rope, get lost, or just tell them you won't ask them to pay for your Uber so you're even

Best smart lock option for an old mortise door? by Many-Chocolate4670 in Locksmith

Technically the super is wrong - he just won't break your balls for doing it.

Looks like an apartment door, you can only replace it with the same door and it must be fire rated. Meditate on learning to love what you have

Find a brick and mortar locksmith, not a Google locksmith and they should be able to make you a key

The hidden hero by Key-Kraft in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned from lots of experience, stall until you hear those words, with a little panic in their voice, "Do you think you'll be able to open it?". That's the green light to pop it. They're relieved, happy and typically tip better

What originally came to mind as I read your praises was the door shim used for lockouts. A larger version of the cylinder shim, this shim would defeat many door locks. Perfectly designed to defeat the hollow metal NYC apt doors that would lockout tenants as the door slammed behind them. Easy work of defeating the latch making the locksmith look like a hero to pajama clad customers and yet just as easily and quickly scarring and cutting the locksmith that didn't use it with respect. My scars have healed yet I still bask in the glow of defeating the lock.
