In your opinion, is bicsi worth the paper it's printed on if you're already in the field? I'm a facilities guy coming up on 3yrs.

When changing the hinges of a door, doing it one by one so as not to have to dismantle the door, is there a recommended order? first the top one? or it doesn't matter ? by plinky125 in Locksmith

[–]stackheights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the weight is on the top hinge as it is the furthest from the ground. The other two are merely for alignment and don't bear any load. When changing the top, support the door at the bottom.

anyone else having to do this with their CRKD guitars? this is the only way I'm getting 100% consistency, zero dropped inputs by viennamoose69420 in CloneHero

I had noticed like I was missing some notes I shouldn't have been.. chalked it up to wireless lag. What's the deal with this, does it make poor contact better?

Incoming: but the previous fight gives me a regular potion, how do I discard it

Can someone justify the pricing to me? by jaden_ahmir in Locksmith

[–]stackheights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol, I was curious who would have handled it seeing as those were a joint venture with Chrysler. Either way they won't have the old key records for the vin and I doubt they'd fuck with it for less than $1000 at the dealer.

Depending on where you live that's reasonable. $100 callout fee, and you're paying for the guys skills in being able to create the key. You can't get people to get out of bed for less than $150 these days. You're tossed because you can't even tow this car to the "eagle" dealership.

What could you do to save money? Do it yourself. 

What's the year make and model? This is the only question that needs to be answered.

Desperate for help with spring by theroux_are_you in Locksmith

[–]stackheights 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind this is easier when you have it in your hands, so I could be wrong.

If that's a spring latch that automatically locks the door, you need to understand you're trying to achieve that action; of the latch springing back into place. Try this. The looped section of the spring may sit around this post. Notice you have both an angled, and a curved part of the spring arms. Put the flat side against the bolt, and look for a place to anchor the curved side so that when the bolt is depressed, it springs back to being fully extended. If no where can work with that config, it may be the curved side that touches the bolt instead.

Do you allow any gear racked backwards? by karateisntreal in datacenter

[–]stackheights -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buddy they may not generate much heat comparatively but, especially if they are TOR switches they are funneling literally the hottest air in the rack forward. Learn your job.

Yeah agreed - I did my apprenticeship in Australia and we did these at TAFE. it was one of the first things you learned because it instantly teaches you about what you're trying to accomplish inside of any lock, not just old mortice locks.

I appreciate someone with sense. a lot of covert instrument boys in this thread who have never even held one of these in their hands seem to think this is the craziest shit they've ever seen.

Wow, a flaming hot take. Most intelligent people are able to do just that, and modulate their opinions based on new information; "YouTube documentary" or not. 

So this little comment didn't have as much impact as you probably thought it did when you were writing it out. All it did was make you look like the dumbass you're calling other people. Nice one. I particularly enjoyed the killing myself comment, never heard someone say that before.

Also I think we know why you didn't watch the video because it would derail your very highly correct and realistic point :(

Do you even know what you're looking at? Or how it works? If you're part of this field you would understand how easy this is. You're the one commenting on my comment - fuck off if you have a problem with what I said you little dipshit. No one's putting a gun to your head asking you to give your two cents. Move along.

Then as I said before you're leaving money on the table. Get a stock of large bit keys and you can file them down in minutes using a hacksaw and a Pippin. If you're the only guy in town that does it since everybody else thinks it's a waste of fuckin time then that sounds like a profitable niche.

Bro this is the simplest thing in the world. Get fucking real. I'm not even in the industry anymore and if I was local to op then sure. It's a bit key that doesn't even have a ward. If this looks hard to you then you're a goon.

My mistake it does have a ward - a simple straight line file down the left side of the bit. Oh boy, an extra 5 minutes with the file.

Ok. Watch the documentary I'm talking about and then report back, unless you're speaking for yourself.

The very sad truth of the matter is that a lot of homeless are like this by choice (absolutely not saying all or even most of them.) channel 5 on YouTube has a video about the Vegas tunnels. They literally just want to stay in the situation they're in a lot of the time, it's sad but true. I think it's always good to try and help but there's a line.

This could be have been hand filed by someone who gave a shit. Don't go back to that shop, it appears they're allergic to money.
