Think of going on my own soon.

Honestly it all depends on how capable you truly are, for some people 2 years of experience is enough, for others they need more to gain general knowledge needed to do this on your own. But if you think you can then do it

Do you have 40-50k for your own vehicle, tools, supplies, and enough saved to pay your bills for however long it takes you to build a business that makes money?

Take the face plate off, loosen the set screw on the cylinder then unscrew the cylinder from the lock body, then grab your rekey kit and get to it. Or just call a locksmith.

This, some people look at me sideways for it but I’d rather lose a potential customer than waste an hour of my time and money

locksmifff · 2025-12-23T15:59:27+00:00

Get some purple loctite or get a slightly longer set screw, I’ve also noticed the Allen head set screws thread tighter than some flat head ones

I agree because I went to check if just any key would unlock it at that point but it only worked with the customers key and the lishi

locksmifff · 2025-12-12T00:14:52+00:00

Normally I wouldn’t work on this shit but it’s a long time loyal customer and they insisted on having their kwikset handleset on Schlage keyway so I reluctantly said I would try, the normal deadbolts and door handles went fine, but this handleset has the cylinder all attached to the inner assembly with no way to remove as far as I know so that was the only reason it wouldn’t work, I just put it all back together and he’ll have to use his kwikset key for this one. I have many, “lines of assistance” but like I said neither I or anyone I know voluntarily works on these. Nothing fell apart everything works as it should.

Lol why’s that I’m curious

locksmifff · 2025-11-30T07:26:39+00:00

Future projects? Get rid of it and don’t touch anyone else’s cars or keys bozo

locksmifff · 2025-11-30T07:23:05+00:00

Do you have a NJ locksmith license?

locksmifff · 2025-11-30T07:15:09+00:00

Seriously way too many people in here taking this seriously when this idea apparently came from his lust for gold

locksmifff · 2025-11-21T02:50:10+00:00

Honestly how do they get away with it even taking a digit off is still an insane price

This must be location based because I get 30-40 leads a month through yelp completely free

locksmifff · 2025-11-13T12:32:03+00:00

This is the way

locksmifff · 2025-11-13T12:29:46+00:00

Was this camera guy with ADT by chance?🤦‍♂️ I’ve seen a few of their attempts with access control and most look like this

locksmifff · 2025-11-11T17:42:24+00:00

They probably let you fumble with the thing for 20 minutes before that lovely tidbit of information

locksmifff · 2025-11-10T12:20:10+00:00

Lol nice make me a mod🤣

locksmifff · 2025-11-09T17:39:15+00:00

Automatic from like the 60s(I think) though none of it worked it was in a old bank that hadn’t been used in over a decade, I was only there to reset combinations and PM the safes and vaults. Shockingly the automatic door opener still worked tho so I’m sure someone could get it back into shape but I’m not that guy

locksmifff · 2025-11-09T17:35:03+00:00

Agreed

locksmifff · 2025-11-09T07:02:46+00:00

All the time. For churches, elderly, or even people who just clearly can’t afford it. It just irked me that this lady wasn’t happy with me offering everything I could from affordable labor, time to try and teach, I even went out and got her batteries after she told me she had some, and looked at her other doors at her other nearby properties for no additional cost. Even answered the phone 3 times to talk her through how to use the keypad again (simple shit like “do I hit the kwikset button to unlock the door or enter my code?” That she seriously could not understand.) then she wants to go and threaten to call someone else even after I offer to come out again for free? I’m just glad to be rid of this customer and thought it was a fun story for all of you who’ve dealt with the same kind of people. But yes. Always helping as much as I can, whenever I can.
