As a trained machinist and a locksmith, I really appreciate your advice on "finding the correct thread" in your advice on counter rotation when installing the new cylinder! You truly help us all at becoming a #LockBoss!! Great job, once again, PJ!!
You're really making this a locksmithing 101 video series! loving it. You'll have to make your new employees watch all of these as part of their onboarding haha #lockboss
Miss you guys, been out after an auto accident, back to about 30%! I always spin the cylinder backwards three or four times to make sure the threads are lined up. Great advice PJ, a true #LockBoss!
Hi PJ great video as always. If I arrive on a job & there is damage to the Adams wright type lock, I then tell the customer there will be a extra charge to replace that Adams wright lock. They are pretty much standard & most lock Smith's carry these in stock in the van. #lockboss.
Great tips. I had to learn the hard way about the set screws holding the cylinders. Turned a 10 minute fix into a 6 hour fiasco. Had to replace mechanism and cylinders.
OMG PJ.... so wish I had seen this two weeks ago on our first re-key of theses! I’ll be heading back to replace the cylinder this weekend with a GMS! Would love to see a #LockBoss video in a completed replace of entire mechanics! Thanks for always giving REAL WIRLD videos!
Early on I wrestled with a mortise cylinder which would absolutely not start threading... It finally clicked that I needed to back off the tension of the lock case mounting screws and let the lock case "float" enough to let it align with the cylinder - Bingo! It threaded easy as pie. Good video, PJ! #AccessLockKeyLLC #LockBoss
Great info. Just a few days ago I was struggling to screw in one of these mortise cylinders. Key had broken off in the lock and needed to be extracted via the back. I had tightened the main screws after removing both cylinders. I remembered a previous video where you had demonstrated the counter rotation to seat the cylinder and your warning about how easy it was to strip the threads so I took my time, but no matter what I did the cylinders would not go in easily. I then realised the lock was not parallel to the door and my previous tightening of the main screws was to blame. Loosened the top screw, did the counter rotation, and the cylinder went in easily. #LockBoss
Thank You for another Educational Video PJ. I have not dealt with many Adams-Rite Locks, but the few I did I've had fairly good experiences with them. Glad you pointed out Loosening the Main Screws for the case of a TOGHT Lock 🔐. This #LockBoss always seems to pick up some HANDY INFO to store away for THOSE SITUATIONS that I MAY run in to.
What generous info! I did a double cylinder like this recently for the first time at a Physical Therapy business. Talk about nerve racking! I had to do the job while the staff watched me (I think they sensed my anxiety LOL) Luckily I had seen a similar video some time ago but also had help from a new found Friend in the Locksmith business. (covert call) I'm surprised I didn't screw it up, but after I figured it out it was a fairly easy rekey...at least that day Lol. Thanks PJ! #lockboss
Thank you PJ for making a video not car related. It would of been nice to know this years ago, but it’s good that new guys will have this video to help them out. I hate those Arcadia cheaply made mortise cylinders. I call the latch part a deadbolt cassette, i like the green screw driver you had. #LockBoss
Very well done, I teach locksmithing 1&2 for a union. NYC requires licensing but my course is for basics to assist in job advancement. It has been difficult finding videos to assist in that end that are simple and clear with terms a lay person can follow. I would like to use this for my classes. Thank you for posting this.
And remember that the allen screws only need to be snugged up. No need to reef on them like you're Hulk! No need to make it a nightmare for future work! #lockboss
Wish this kind of training and tips were around when I started. Thanks for sharing you tips and insight. Learned the hard way to spin counterclockwise first to avoid stripping. Thanks #Lockboss
Reverse rotating anything threaded to start insertion is a good idea. It can help prevent cross-threading too since you can feel the threads drop into the proper place. #Lockboss
i have yet to do any commerical work - let alone adams rite. But thank you PJ for this info, now I feel confident i can do these correctly on my first time, at least know what to watch out for. Thank you!
Awesome video PJ, On basic 101 may I suggest showing IC core replacement with the control key. Seen to many apprentices have issues with this. #LockBoss
Great tips and tricks for servicing mortise cylinders!But yes, these locks can become a nightmare, and cause a simple job like a rekey to go to hell in a hand basket if you strip the threads.When I first started dealing with these, I went to install a security collar on a mortise cylinder(Which was a cheap die-cast one)and thought that it was gonna be easy peazy, however what I didn’t know was that in order for it to be able to reach the threads of the deadbolt/deadlatch with the collar on, the cylinder had to be at least 1-1/8” long. So I attached the collar and wave washer on the cylinder, and went to reinstall it, however I discovered that I wasn’t engaging with the threads, so I kept pushing in on while attempting to screw it in for like 15 mins, and when I thought that I FINALLY got it started, I discovered that it was stuck.I felt lump in my throat when the customer asked if it was going to be done soon.Fortunately, I was able to get it out and screw it in properly.However, when I was called out to rekey it a few months later, I recut the threads with my HPC mortise cylinder die.
I have always found it funny that you can have a strong door and lock, but everything is held together with one small set screw. Great tip to always look from previous damage, you are there to fix stuff for a reason. #LockBoss
Haven’t run into that yet brother thank the heavens above! Good looking out PJ! That’s why I enjoy your videos! Your a rockstar in the Locksmithing world in my eyes! #Lockboss I
Thank you for this great video, PJ! When I learned about mortise lock bodies, I was taught the importance of proper threading of the cylinders into the lock bodies. My mentor made sure I knew how and I have felt comfortable working with them ever since. I hope I never need it, but I did buy a mortise tap and die set from you all... just in case. Because, a #lockboss tried to always be prepared.
This video is so true,such great advice one thing you didn't include the use of the hpc tap and die set to re thread the the cylinder and adamsrite latch.
This is a great video. You need as much advanced knowledge as you can get on the little things like this video shows. You ultimately will learn a sort of succession of details to run through to have a good set of troubleshooting skills. Thanks PJ! 👍 #lockboss
It's not so much about how few threads it is. It's about how close the threads are. They're very fine threads and have hardly any space between them. I had a hard time trying to reinsert a mortise cylinder lock on door locks that were made like this more than once. These were apartment doors that had the same kind of mortise lock and the same threads. Very annoying, I learned that you have to be very careful so that you don't cross thread. Sometimes if you cross thread it , you may be lucky enough to be able to straighten it back out but it is very difficult.
I can totally relate to your story. I also had a dodgy one when starting out. They're not that common here in New Zealand either, so hadn't even seen one before lol.
Fantastic tips my friend. If people would practic counterclockwise frist it would help them on all projects...thank for great video PJ. have a great weekend. 😎#LOCKBOSS. 😎
Very helpful info. Especially valuable for a newbie is how loosening the whole locks mounting screws can help with getting the cylinder in and out. #LockBoss
Excellent video -- nice to learn lessons from others. I appreciate it when professionals share things they've learned the hard way, so we don't repeat mistakes. #LockBoss
Great video. I had one at the beginning of the week that the person before had stripped the cylinder and mechanism's threads. I had to replace them but if I had the HPC mortise tap and die tool I may have been able to save them. #LockBoss
I like to just very slightly and gently rotate the Mortise cylinder back and forth when starting to engage the retaining screw to make sure the retaining screw is perfectly centered in the groove of the Mortise cylinder, just so I don't risk damage any of the Mortise cylinder threads. This insures that it won't work loose by being in maximum engagement with the retaining screw. Good tips for any #lockboss
Hi P J. Great advice. Thanks for doing this video. What can you do , if anything if you do have stripped threads in the mech ? Is thete any tool for repair to the threads ? Or do you have to replace the whole unit. Thanks in advance.
Great vid, PJ. Only comment I have, is that I hope you rekeyed that lock after the video. You gave the bitting and enough data for location to compromise the lock. #LockBoss
Counter rotation is a key to align threads. There is a tap set available if threads are screwed up and don't have a replacement. Another recommendation is to sell tamper proof collet on adams right setups. #lockboss
I accidentally removed the whole lock not just the cylinders. It is removed in the locked position but needs to be unlocked to get the cylinders in. Is there any way to unlock without the cylinders?
Great video as always PJ! Only thing wrong with the video is at the 7:52 mark - "Intall Mortise Cylinder" graphic across the screen should be "Install Mortise Cylinder". Connor's spellcheck must have been turned off. I think he should blame the boss for not proof-reading before the final production! LOL! Just kidding. Doesn't look like anyone else caught it...or they were scared to point it out figuring that you may send the Lock Father out to take care of them! #Lockboss
Hi All. What is the best way to remove the deadbolt cylinder side of the lock if it won't twist to be removed? I thought about cutting the beauty ring with pliers and using pliers to untwist it but afraid it may strip making it impossible to install the new cylinder.
For beginners, it's a good thing to rock the cylinder back and forth slightly while tightening the set screw so they can feel it drop in the groove. A security collar would add a level of security. Also a good thing to invest in is the locksmith screw assortment and a nice assortment of collars for newbies. Available from CLK Supplies. #LOCKBOSS
Hi PJ, great video, and information. I'm sure you were very nervous, especially being 15 years old. One needs to take it slow to make sure not to strip lock. #LOCKBOSS
Ok I know I'm new to the #LOCKBOSS community, I had to fix one where someone trying to make an Unauthorized force entry used a pair of slipjoint pliars and twisted it out. Lucky for me a friend had a machine shop that I took it to him and he had a tap to clean the set screw that had been sheered off. Have found that HPC actually has a Tap & Die set for these locks too.
HPC sells a retreading tool that is rather pricey, but if your ever caught out in a situation where the previous Locksmith left you a mess, it can be a major time saver. #Lockboss
Lol luckily I have quite a bit of experience with preventing stripping threads from being a mechanic most of my life. My first experience with an Adams Rite style mortise lock was not long ago. Luckily for me it was a nice brass Yale, although I didn't know I was lucky at the time, lol. I currently have an issue on an Adams Rite style door I'm hoping you can help with. The entire mortise frame has play in it, not enough to make it not function (for now) but enough that you can literally see the cylinder move in the mortise hole slightly when the door is opened or closed. I have checked the set screws, they are fine. The problem appears to be that the tabs that attach the mortise frame to the door have holes that are stripped. I can cut, drill and tap new ones no problem but I was wondering if you could tell me what material to use. Is there some flat bar stock that is good for this purpose? Or are pre- made tabs available? The tabs appear to be about 1/2"wide by 1/8" thick. Thanks for all your great advice, the great products and service, and for just being you. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. #LOCKBOSS
Hi Austin, yes this is what you need. Call us up and we can send 1 to you www.majormfg.com/pc-639-11-mounting-bracket-for-ar-locks-in-radius-door-frames.aspx
Hey PJ how ya been? The door is actually on one of the buildings I maintain so I'm going to have to see what the company wants to do, but now I can at least know what to tell them. As always thanks so much for the education.
The first one I worked on had a lot of tension on it and I had no clue what I was doing. By the time I got done with the job, I totally destroyed the mortice cylinder, and scratch the hell out of the door. By the time I got it done I figured out what to do on the next one. #LOCKBOSS
Very good info! I guess we all had those jobs early on in our career that made their mark in a "not so good" way... but as long as you learn from the mistakes and move on, that's the important thing. My one remaining question from this video is whether key 52214 still opens that door. :) #LockBoss
I've run into poor door prep more times than I ever care to remember. I purchased the taps (regular mortise and large mortise) very soon after encountering previous monkey installations. Saved my bacon, especially on $300 - $500 commercial locksets. #Lockboss
#Lockboss glad to see someone else run it backwards first to drop the threads in place before putting it in. Too many time people mess them up. Oh, and you forgot the S in (install the cylinder) in the video. It says intall 😆
As a trained machinist and a locksmith, I really appreciate your advice on "finding the correct thread" in your advice on counter rotation when installing the new cylinder! You truly help us all at becoming a #LockBoss!! Great job, once again, PJ!!
Huge help, mortise cylinder wasn't screwing in until I went counter-clockwise, then clockwise. You saved me a $150 locksmith trip. Thank you!
You're really making this a locksmithing 101 video series! loving it. You'll have to make your new employees watch all of these as part of their onboarding haha #lockboss
Well done. I wish someone had told me these things when I got started instead of having to figure it out on my own.
Miss you guys, been out after an auto accident, back to about 30%! I always spin the cylinder backwards three or four times to make sure the threads are lined up. Great advice PJ, a true #LockBoss!

Great tips PJ. Another thing to check is the strong bolt spring to see if lock stays locked and not fall open .
I only have two words...PRICELESS INFORMATION.
Great tips. I had to learn the hard way about the set screws holding the cylinders. Turned a 10 minute fix into a 6 hour fiasco. Had to replace mechanism and cylinders.

The counter clockwise trick 👍and glad to see you make sure the cylinder is nice and straight up and down like a #Lockboss
And remember that the allen screws only need to be snugged up. No need to reef on them like you're Hulk! No need to make it a nightmare for future work!
#lockboss
Not to mention strip the threads out of the mortise frame. I've encountered that.

Avoiding stripping threads on Adam rite. I agree with u a 100% thanks pj and clk. James estep locksmith n Tennessee. # lockboss

Man, I think we all have one story from our early locksmith days that truly haunts us to this day lol #Lockboss
Great information for any #lockboss PJ, thanks for sharing it; also happy to see some non-automotive stuff too 😁
Hi P J. Great advice.
Thanks for doing this video.
What can you do , if anything if you do have stripped threads in the mech ?
Is thete any tool for repair to the threads ?
Or do you have to replace the whole unit.
Thanks in advance.
Great vid, PJ. Only comment I have, is that I hope you rekeyed that lock after the video. You gave the bitting and enough data for location to compromise the lock. #LockBoss
100% that lock is not on the door!!!-PJ
Good presentation. Large diameter fine threads always need to be treated gently to avoid cross-threading. #LockBoss
Counter rotation is a key to align threads. There is a tap set available if threads are screwed up and don't have a replacement. Another recommendation is to sell tamper proof collet on adams right setups. #lockboss
Something so simple can make a huge difference in your day.#Lockboss
I accidentally removed the whole lock not just the cylinders. It is removed in the locked position but needs to be unlocked to get the cylinders in. Is there any way to unlock without the cylinders?

Getting ready to go do one of these right now. Hopefully nothing is damaged cause I know that the lock is already missing a mounting tab.

I'm sure you were very nervous, especially being 15 years old.
One needs to take it slow to make sure not to strip lock.

Thank you
Great information!! I wish I would of been able to watch a video like this 20 years ago when I started but lots of great tips !! #Lockboss
good advice for those of us with not much experience with these locks #Lockboss
This is why I purchased an HPC mortice tap & die from you. Thanks PJ #Lockboss
Great reminder and advice for the #LockBoss you don't want the #LockFather mad at you so something simple
Right!-PJ
Surprised you didn't mention CLK sells the mortise cylinder tap/ die kit -HPC-CLTD-5. #lockboss
Prior damage is why I stock all the different latch’s that CLK sells. #Lockboss
Awesome video as usual

@@austinknowlton1783 sounds good! Doing well-PJ
Great content PJ. Just the information a #LOCKBOSS can always use
Great Tips!! You are truly a #LockBoss!!
The first one I worked on had a lot of tension on it and I had no clue what I was doing. By the time I got done with the job, I totally destroyed the mortice cylinder, and scratch the hell out of the door. By the time I got it done I figured out what to do on the next one. #LOCKBOSS
Me too! -PJ

Haha, nope!-PJ
I've run into poor door prep more times than I ever care to remember. I purchased the taps (regular mortise and large mortise) very soon after encountering previous monkey installations. Saved my bacon, especially on $300 - $500 commercial locksets. #Lockboss
Hey them locks is the hard once to get back in the doors and I have to work on them some more. #LOCKBOSS
Very awesome thxs for the great video now this hit home close great job #lockboss 🤘🤘
#Lockboss glad to see someone else run it backwards first to drop the threads in place before putting it in. Too many time people mess them up. Oh, and you forgot the S in (install the cylinder) in the video. It says intall 😆
Shoot! -PJ
Great information. Inherited a building with two of those and have not rekeyed them yet. #Lockboss
Some good tips and things to look out for. #lockboss
thanks pj. great job at explaining! #lockboss
One out of three I do is stripped, should be an easy job very seldom, and I remember the first one hours trying to fix good video # lockboss
I have several of these great info #lockboss thanks pj
There is no real substitute for experience, thanks #Lockboss
So true-PJ
Fantastic information as always. Keep the tips coming 👍 #lockboss
I’m in locksmith training so that’s good information to know, that way I can be a #LockBoss
🌵🇨🇦 That was a great video. I need to try and find an old door frame like this for Fire Training. #LockBoss 🇨🇦🌵
That looks like a week set up... seems like u could put a small pip wrench on the face of lock cylinder and twist it on out
Great video PJ. Thanks again #Lockboss.
Great advice
Well done PJ
#Lockboss
Gotta be a #LOCKBOSS and not strip out those threads or the BIG-BOSS will be mad!!!
