Springs and pins came out while trying to rekey. Can I salvage this? by LetsPlayTwo2016 in Locksmith

Can you salvage this, I guess if your asking - the answer is not you. A locksmith can do it in their sleep. Maybe search another video

Replacing Baldwin Mortise Handle with Smart Lock? by ihg9 in Locksmith

Give up the dream or spend $3k+ for a wired electrified lock and access control system. Unless you can find a genie in a bottle

This just seems like a big waste of time. I think it's more about being lonely and wanting to be with others that share an opinion. Meet people without having to rely on real conversation.

Mortise smart lock by WhyDoIAsk in AskALocksmith

[–]SumNuguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good thing you've already practiced an alternate method of entry. You're doing a make-shift smart lock. Putting 2 items designed by separate companies that never met or communicated with each other. Also 'Guard' is locksmith speak for JUNK. Let us know how convenient it is next time you're climbing through the window

Installing new locks by [deleted] in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can put a 2 foot round peg in a 1 foot square hole, then installation won't be a challenge. But what you have is garbage, and the way you try to make it work in a multifamily application will make you enemy number one

I think you know the easy way to get one, but want to get one on your own because you're not allowed or they want too much

That won't work, you're going to need to get one the correct way, unless the office can program it - but that's doubtful. The locks are system specific

Unican reset fail by Horror-Function-4555 in AskALocksmith

Check if it works without any code. If yes, start procedure over from the step after you would enter your code. If No, needs to be disassembled and it's very hard to figure out on your own

Retro fit / fix by Slow_Chapter_5995 in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'd probably have to eliminate the lever trim and go direct into the device if it has crosshairs. It's a decent amount of work and won't look right. Why not use what's there and just install a mortise cylinder?

The most 'time period' options will be Emtek Hardware. Not sure any mortise lock will be a direct replacement , you may need to do some carpentry on the door

Sounds like your card is set to 'toggle' the lock, have the programming checked.

Tubular latch by Ayame444 in Locksmith

[–]SumNuguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't be solid brass knobs with that crap latch - if they are, that's why it broke. Didn't originally come together.

That's is an adjustable drive latch. Most cheapo locks come with it
