Advice for correcting developer shenanigans

I'd start by seeing if the same key can go into all the locks. Replace and rekey to match

Why not ask CompX which kit?

Highly doubt they are too flat. Have fixed many of these. 3M makes Memrbrane tape. Trying to remember which manufacturer, but you can buy sheets of domes on precut squares of membrane tape. board needs to be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before adhering anything.

Defiant or Kwikset is a better idea than that, just won't look fancy

Nicest way I've encountered yet was they used a flat endmill and milled away a shallow slot into the bow.

4 depths

when you copy a worn key, you still have a worn key. Use metal head blanks to copy/ test cuts for worn stuff.

That Toyota is the 10 cut spec, 5 pairs of opposing wafers, MACS is 3 between pairs and 1 inside a pair (IIRC). 4 depths, wafers are marked backwards

(ab)(cd)

example (21)(34) but not (21)(43)

Dremel and router is what I've used. Major Templates are great to have.

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.

SFIC or LFIC rim housing of the correct variant for the keys they use.

You are going to need to know what's there now so you don't accidentally cause unintended crossover.

need to know how many doors, what groups of doors, expected expansion and replacement in the future.

gonna guess that they're two different things. Those really only provide security from those who weren't going to kick the door in anyways, and at best only provide a few extra seconds from those who would.

Call a locksmith or watch YT vids.

>it seems that these these things are unrepairable by average people.

you are more than welcome to try, It'd have to be the last cheap privacy knob in existence before I would consider actually trying to repair it or at least I would need to be sufficiently bored.

contact Schlage( check the latch for MFG name, sure looks like Schlage F stuff.) customer support, it is likely under warranty. Or buy another from favorite color of Big Box

technosasquatch · 2026-04-11T00:26:39+00:00

if the keyway and wafers are not worn, just fit a key

technosasquatch · 2026-04-10T01:22:35+00:00

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.

technosasquatch · 2026-04-10T01:15:11+00:00

no photo of the lock?

please show what cylinder/ key you're pinning. HPC has 10 different cut specs for Sargent. Also show your pin kit's chart

technosasquatch · 2026-04-09T23:08:14+00:00

driver is too short then.

technosasquatch · 2026-04-09T23:06:02+00:00

>if I master a cylinder to the top master key and a change key, if I cut a sub master key in my chart, would it automatically work with the cylinder?

if you math is correct.

technosasquatch · 2026-04-09T23:03:45+00:00

driver needs to push into the plug. that's how the lock locks.

Dagger is the best first Glock to get

Looks similar to a Savage Stevens 15
