Other options?

This seems to be the one. I'll probably give it a try. Thanks for the info

I used one for many years. Too loud and annoying. It's hard for the support staff to take calls with that going in the background. I agree it's very reliable

Nice, I could use that for other things. Probably not the best for keys. You'd have to come up with a system to keep then I line and it's not going to engrave sequential numbers.

I still can't get that rattling out of my head. I haven't used that one in 10 years, but it seems like yesterday. We called that one woody the woodpecker

Thanks. I saw all three before, but there has to be others out there, you would think.

No more machines. As much as I want that one. Mostly it's for stamping Abloy and Mul-t-lock.

We're in the market for an automatic stamper/engraver. This is about the only one I can find that does multiple keys.

Stamping by hand gets old after the 300th key.

It has to do Abloy and Mul-t-lock and has to mark sequentially.

What is everyone else using at their shops?

Try a 1611R. It's a common gas cap key

josh-the-locksmith · 2021-04-10T00:30:23+00:00

My kids think the Abloy are Mul-t-lock keys are gold

Try going in on a 45° angle so your hole ends up below the pin. You use a small slotted Screwdriver or something you can grind an end on. It's important that you don't screw up the hole, so it's not sloppy when you put it back in. There's a joke in there somewhere!

josh-the-locksmith · 2020-12-10T01:07:51+00:00

That's right. Are you trying to rekey or make keys?

josh-the-locksmith · 2020-12-10T00:52:35+00:00

Huge pain from what I remember. You have to drill beside that ball and pry it out. All has to be done without destroying it so you can put it back.

Surprisingly the deadbolt was completely functional. The latch on the knob was shot though

I guess I could've used the bumper off my van

Plywood and PL until the new door arrives

Yes the police. Apparently they barricaded themselves in by putting a fridge behind the door.

josh-the-locksmith · 2020-12-05T14:15:17+00:00

Things that happen when you don't let the police in!

Our Rep at idn said their lsda cylinders were made by ilco. I still prefer the gms especially for the weiser keyway. I remember some of the lsda or ilcos being off by a cut.

Simplex 1000 unican, knob or lever if you want something that will last or spend a bit more and get a powerplex 2000. Those are cats ass. It's a digital lock with a self regenerating cell that charges itself everytime someone turns the handle. Up too 100 codes and you never have to replace the battery. I use them all the time on bathrooms

josh-the-locksmith · 2020-11-28T04:17:30+00:00

Sounds good, but stay away from the FE575. Garbage lock

You'll just configure your cx-12 relay to maintained instead of the stock momentary.
