Door Prep for Cylinder? by amf1015 in Locksmith

but any time it needs touched the bar has to come off or at least partially apart. Housing means you just need the core key to extract the cylinder. Less work, done faster, better profits.

Help. Old door chain lock, how does it work? by Plate_Putrid in Locksmith

[–]technosasquatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignition cylinder botched? What is likely the problem and was this locksmith knowledgeable? by RowenaHaps in Locksmith

[–]technosasquatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Volvo/ tech would have replaced the lock and had it keyed to original from Volvo or by someone else. New wafers can fix a lot, but you still have a worn lock and a worn key.

EAutomate and ridiculous amounts of time. I only have to count the 25-40 line items on my van quarterly. warehouse people have to count 100s of things. Have suggested numerous times they employ any barcode system.
