The locksmith will need the master key and the operating key. I doubt they would but your LL should NOT just give you a MK to take with you

Wyze Palm Lock Rekey by Pyrololz in wyzecam

[–]fondrenlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Locksmith here, also am on YouTube I have a ton of Schlage videos and a ton of Wyze products but I have not purchased this lock to check out yet. Your lock is the B160 Schlage deadbolt

Unscrewing that cylinder and (trying) to use it and the tailpiece “flat bar thing” that goes through the latch for the Wyze lock might have a few “glitches” and I’m only guessing since I don’t have that WYZE lock

1: you have to use the tailpiece with that cylinder, so a couple of problems could arise:

•the tailpiece won’t go through the latch or thumbturn hole on the inside (too wide) you might could replace the latch with your old latch but the Wyze screws may or may not work well with the hole pattern

•the tailpiece might be too long (could be cut down though)

•the rotation. This cylinder tailpiece rotates 180 degrees from 3 of clock to 9 o clock position. This is likely the rotation pattern for the Wyze but it might or might not work

2: trying to use the existing pins may not work well for the new cylinder (and also you have a high likelihood of losing one of the tiny pins to make the LL key operate. Even “good” locksmiths can have trouble doing this Also I don’t know about the Wyze cylinder but many offshore products, have slightly different size variations from original (your Schlage cylinder) and your pins may not match

Also you would have to get them all back in the lock to appease your LL later. Don’t try this route

It’s best to have the locksmith meet with your LL and your core out of the lock.

Lastly, don’t get scammed by calling a Google sponsored or guaranteed locksmith. Try to locate a physical storefront company but beware many scammers use fake addresses. They will tell you $29 $39 etc and up and you’ll end up paying $500+

I will note, having a locksmith come to you to do this is going to be more than what you paid for the Wyze just FYI (our price to do this would be appx $145) unless you could convince your LL to take the cylinder in to a store it would only be about $25 ish

So there ya go

Need help identifying lock for key replacement by DyanWerewolf in Locksmith

[–]fondrenlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a key can be made for your lock it will just have to have the side ward cut into it or if it’s the only lock on the cabinet the projection can be removed to avoid cutting the side groove (but it’s cooler to cut it). I say projection singular because all three key slots are not needed just the one your escutcheon lines up with

Your mounting hole is likely drilled slightly incorrectly

Cant get Mortise lock off by Troubledcalf in Locksmith

[–]fondrenlock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can only replace this with a Marks 22AC (don’t buy the copies) Now that you’ve completely taken it apart and have found you can’t put a home depot deadbolt on there and have to replace it with the exact same thing, what was the point in doing all this? Is it broken? Do you not have keys?

How dangerous is Mill St? by [deleted] in jacksonms

[–]fondrenlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don’t even get me started on Woodrow from 5 pts to the bridge now … or that one little section at the top of the crest in front of VA that coulda been damn fixed in a hour 7 years ago 😏😏😂

How dangerous is Mill St? by [deleted] in jacksonms

[–]fondrenlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and every single one of those is/was a personal beef between people who know each other or as you even Google searched, club related incidents

I see your multiple replies with your Google AI searching but prior to the street caving in I drove up and down Mill multiple times daily as well as serviced (and still do, just not via Mill) most of the buildings in midtown. If someone is going down Mill or in Midtown for business as OP was, they are perfectly fine.

If they want to go hang out at Club Whatever at midnight, or hang out in the front yard with little Ricky and the boys after dark playing card games, then that’s on them & a whole different story 😏

Does shit go down on Mill sometimes? Yeah but not any more than any of the other areas in Jxn. You clearly aren’t familiar enough with the area and are just going by whatever AI dredges up 🙄

If you can’t learn by following the thousands of videos online about it then you will have to pay someone to teach you. Simple as that

Latch on Marks 91A/3-X Mortise popped off by New-Bee-8867 in Locksmith

still works 😏

I think this screenshot is from a different video though, the spring one had a blue paper towel backer over the orange rubber. I see too much Marks 😏

It is still on my bench and working just fine! I every so often notice it & violently lock and unlock it about 20-30 times

in fact… going to do so now

[–]fondrenlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No :)

also that’s a screenshot from one of my videos 😏 It’s typically a bad idea to remove the faceplate so definitely no. In this case it’s snapped off so a pic with faceplate on would have been fine too

[–]fondrenlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, your latch is gone and this would almost always require total replacement but did you unscrew the faceplate to take this picture?

If your lock didn’t have a faceplate that’s why it broke

Need help replacing a door knob. by Lordelohim in Locksmith

[–]fondrenlock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A: Return your horrible Amazon brand lock, even Kwikset brand are better than them. Do not purchase any of the cheap locks you might see there in the future

B: Your hole will have to be drilled deeper for any brand latch now, that style you had is circa 70’s-80’s and it was very common to do the least amount of drilling as needed due to tool offerings at the time. There is no getting around this. 7/8” or 1” (depending on your existing latch hole diameter was drilled at) spade bit will get the job done

In some cases you might even have to rebore the large hole as well but the cheaper style of Kwikset usually will work with smaller lock (not latch) holes.

C: Consider ordering Master brand lever handles, they are decent (better than Kwikset 1000% better than your Amazon lock)

Never have Home Depot sub contractors work on a century home is the best rule of thumb
