    Thank you! You are a lifesaver. I was having trouble installing a new Schlage double-keyed deadbolt - old model but never used - and the Schlage instructions said to "throw" the deadbolt but didn't say HOW. Your excellent instructions saved the day, 😎🙏👍

    Sincere thanks to you! Deadbolt to the garage went out last night; googled the issue today and immediately found the answer. Called your shop and the parts are on the way. Many thanks!!!

      Thank you, check that strike plate to make sure it isn't binding when you lock it (the number one reason why they twist) You likely need to move or router out that area so it works a bit better :)

    Thank you so much :-) I took the lock apart and was able to fix it myself. A small pin had worn out and I was able to fix it with a piece of a paperclip. It's better than the original. Thank you again.

    Had to look at a few other videos before I saw the piece in your video I think you called it the tail piece but those two flat on one side and curved on the other side little silver pieces had no idea what to do when they fell out thanks so much for the help save me a trip to the locksmith brother

    Thanks so much for this. One tail piece on mine became separated from the round washer. I was able to reassemble it and spread the tangs out a bit to keep the washer captivated, reassembled and it worked. If it fails again, I will order the tail pieces from you.

    I spent quite a bit of time looking for replacement tailpieces or spindles, like you mentioned. Turns out, it was the cross-shaped cam slot that was completely spent. Granted it's at least 20 years old, I was able to order just the latch in the same color so hopefully I won't have to have mismatched colored parts. Thanks for the video & pointing me in the right direction!

  • @leebloom7428
    @leebloom7428 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I spent an hour trying to get the two tail prices through the hole in the bolt. Then I found your video. Pushing out the bolt so the slot is vertical makes all the difference. It took me two minutes once I knew that.

    Hi Jason Thank You for the detailed demonstration I would buy one only it would probably cost me double with shipping and all so meanwhile i'm off measuring me doors just in case LOL You could sell ice to an Eskimo, I am learning so much about the different locks & keys and the pitfalls of certain types which people would only find out once it was fitted. Also i have looked through your video's and see you haven't got one regarding door closers and best type to buy maybe. Cheers G.

    • @selock
      @selock  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s unfortunate, 95% of the time the lock will give one warnings (hard to turn, etc) that something’s wrong. When one ignores those warnings this can invariably happen

    Took the locks out to paint the doors. I followed your instructions carefully when reinstalling them, and the locks can be smoothly manually locked, but the keys still won’t turn! They go in fine, but won’t budge! Any ideas at all? The pins Cosme out when I removed the locks but they didn’t break and I easily fit them back in. Did it cause a problem with the mechanism when the pins were temporarily taken out and put back in?

  • @angelahernandez8829

    So I have been seeing locks wit 2 keyholes in a deadbolt but their on the same side and has a turn knob on the other side of the dead bolt why is there a hidden keyhole in some dead bolt locks??

    • @selock
      @selock  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s the Kwikset smart key style lock, since they can’t be master keyed this was Kwikset’s answer, put in another cylinder so apt mgr/maintenance can have a “bypass key”

  • @pambrown5919

    great video, but i need to know how to get in the house when the deadbolt is spinning when it is locked

    • @selock
      @selock  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      pam brown unfortunately if there are no other doors the lock will have to be drilled out and replaced if you cannot get in. If you hire a locksmith make sure to not just go on google “referred” or anyone that shows a super cheap price of $30-50 try to locate a actual local company and not fall for getting scammed by one of these companies

  • @RuneInternational
    @RuneInternational 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    if you have the outside spinning on a locked one door house, would you then use the old lady solution - hammer a window, to access from inside. Or mark the screws position on the front and drill through the cylinder to snap the screws and expose the lock parts

    • @selock
      @selock  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Rune International yeah it would have to be screw attack :( been there, done that quite a few times with our shifting soil

    • @RuneInternational
      @RuneInternational 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SE Lock and Key not good with those 40+ yo brass locks. Maybe start a lock aging area in the back garden for drill to pop replacements

    • @selock
      @selock  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rune International yep! I’ve got one :) a few of those have been aged before. I use a vapor aging process, probably will do a video whenever I have to do it next time. A couple of those in the Schlage staging area were aged in a batch I did for s antique home remodel about a year ago
      pretty healthy extra charge too ;)

    Thanks for this, but I'm still stuck. The tailpieces on my lock won't line up and fall out as I try to put the lock together. There door is a metal security screen and the tailpieces are very short. Is there a way to temporarily keep the tailpieces in place?

    • @selock
      @selock  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Chris Knox no, in your instance it’s just more of a hold your tongue right.
      When the tailpieces are vertical and bolt extended they shouldn’t fall out as easily

    I have a very old Schlage deadbolt that has caps that actually looks like they are two parts, a ring and a pin. However they are made, I cannot remove them by prying them out. They are flush with the face. Is there another way, even cutting the lock off?

    • @selock
      @selock  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unless you can reach through the hole with a flat head and get it to open by turning in the direction of the unlock position or get inside another way you may have to get a locksmith. Make sure to not get a scammer company! ($29 service call)

    Good video. Where can I get a replacement latch that fits a Schlage double cylinder style like the one you show here? I'm looking for a replacement on a gate lock that is using an electronic striker with a Schlage double cylinder that has a worn latch. I can't find one at the big box stores.

    • @selock

      legalsolutions07 we sell and ship them. Send us an email, need to know which length you need as gates often use the 3/4 or shorter inch selockandkey@gmail.com
      Thanks for watching :)

    • @selock
      @selock  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m sorry I just re-read this. You are looking for the actual latch itself. On a gate I assume it automatically locks with a latch that uses a latch like you would see on a doorknob correct? It would be either 2 3/8 or 2 3/4 which is the distance from edge of gate to center of keyhole

    • @legalsolutions07
      @legalsolutions07 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I'm looking 4 the dead latch itself that will fit in a Schlage double cylinder style lock. It's a 2 3/8" size but all I can find r the deadbolt style that will fit the double cylinder.

    Just a question. I live in apt and just got home and noticed key ket spinning and finally I was able to unlock the door. I then played around with it and key just spins around. All I want to know is could this have been caused by a thief or burglar trying to pick lock or is this most likely lock fatigue? Could it have been caused by cold weather? I'm gonna call landlord to replace lock but now I'm just paranoid that someone actually tried to break in.
