Hi guys, my key has got stuck in the back door, it turns a little each way but I’m not able to lock or unlock the door and cannot get the key out. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated :)

We’re in SW Florida, getting impact windows and front door installed this week. Upgrading the crap lock hardware that came on the door being replaced. (just bought the condo 3 months age). No sidelights. Since we’re getting impact stuff, I want quality hardware, figuring it may get crooks move on to the next unit. So, getting a Schlage B660 initially with a S123 keyway. I would like a keyed knob that will take a compatible cylinder so they can be keyed the same and eventually upgraded to something higher, like a primus. Any suggestions on a lower cost knob that’s compatible with the right cylinders? I’ll be installing the locks and reinforced strikes/hinges 3” screws, etc. myself, and will have a locksmith get and install the upgraded cylinders. Thanks.

Hi mods please let me know if this isn’t allowed.

Backstory: I moved into this apartment that only uses a terribly slow and clunky smart app for their main lock. Plan to add a smart lock over dead bolt but need help removing plate. Screws unscrewed but both plates are locked and don’t budge. Any ideas? Branded Pamex

Hello! Repurposing a bank vault gate into a garden gate, and, because some of the housing is very difficult to remove, I would like to replace the mortise deadbolt. Pretty tough so far to even identify the model. Any suggestions or comments welcome.

I was given this cool old padlock and I have no information on it unfortunately. I’m just curious what the age and manufacture date would be? Thanks!

Guys please help me! I am looking for someone who can cut the flat metal as per my car key design. All the locksmith charging me 200. Anything can be done cheaper?

The underlying lock protrudes out inside the mount. Does having a mount make it less secure since there's something protruding from the door, and hence something to latch onto and break, or is having a mount fine?

Hi everyone, I’m in an area that unfortunately doesn’t seem to have any available locksmiths to come check out my old patio handle set, and I need to replace it. No visible markings/manufacturers are on it. Do you have any suggestions of what might fit to replace this if I can DIY it? I don’t mind replacing with a different style as long as it fits. Bonus points if I can find the hardware at Lowe’s! Thanks for your insight!

Hi,

I have a short term rental that I'd like the ability to rekey every lock easily. I have used Kwikset Smart Key before, but this house has a sliding door. Is there a solution out there like Kwikset Smart Key that allows an easy rekey for a sliding patio door?

Hey all, I've got a fireman pole that goes from my second floor to my first floor, and I'm installing a glass gate on it. I'd like to put a keyed lock, preferably a deadbolt mounted on the glass, where the deadbolt inserts into the steel post. I have not fabricated the glass yet in case there needs to be a cutout for a lock. I've been looking for a few days now without much luck in finding a solution. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

They don’t want to loose the last key and be stuck.

My old basement door lock has been messed up forever. I just found some of the missing pieces! I am missing some kind of deadbolt/ thumb turn I think? Can anyone tell me how I can figure out what I need to replace it?

Hi, I have a key that is a security key. I’m after another key to be cut the problem is the place were I used to get them from looks to have closed down. Can anything be done or is it a new lock time?

I have a security door to a building I inherited and I do not know what type of lock it requires.

Tried some looking up online but cant find any type of deadbolt mechanism with this bolt pattern.
