O Reilley auto parts has a small feeler stock gauge that is half the size of a normal feeler gauge. I picked one up exclusively because it was a tiny feeler gauge and I work on a lot of small stuff that regular gauge won't even fit into. It was cheap, like 7 or 8 bucks, but worth it to have.. edit: Great video btw, thanks for showing us the secrets of the weiser knob it's great to know these things for when I do run into them.
Good morning Jason absolutely fantastic information video I ran in too this about year ago wish I had seen this video before I totally destroyed the handset...thanks for video now I know what to do. 😎
Interesting, thanks. I was always shown/ told these were for shim picking the lock from the back, like you'd normally shim pick a cylinder....but for the older locks that did not pop apart, and especially for the weiser bolt.
I thought that as well in the beginning but wondered why they made it so narrow if it was to be used that way (because all those old old old fellas may have been deep in the knob but still plenty of regular shim room- width wise) Then I was enlightened :)
MBA USA still has the Weiser shim in stock ($4) (60 pieces), I got mine from there about a year ago. I have used this trick on a few Weiser handsets I picked up at an auction. (DANGIT - I should read comments before posting)
if your preferring to the old Dexter's from the early 90's I use to, however I believe I replaced everyone of them. Dexter the lock has to be off the door. turn the plug to the 6 o'clock pull the cylinder. Dexter's knobs was junk out of the box.
@@zlocksca as Lock4565 mentioned, the old old old Dexter knobs operated the same way except it went to 6 o clock position only. I will note those had pretty dang tight tolerances as far as core to housing so they were much harder to pick As far as being able to pull it from outside, I don’t think it will work because of the parts they had in the back of the plug

MBA shows it on their website -- (we never order from there so I didn't know they had them) mbausa.com/weiser-shim/
That's where I got mine. (IDN also has them and I think Lockmasters) 😁 Love these tips & tricks videos! 👍
@@willie_mccoy I asked my IDN a couple years ago and got a no. I’ll try again tomorrow when I order
@@selock EZ # 014012 Not showing them in stock, but can probably be ordered.
@@willie_mccoy MBA gonna be like “why the heck are we suddenly selling these shims?? ??”😂
@@selock 🤣🤣🤣
That's some really cool info there. Never knew you could push it from the outside like that.
Excellent trick to be Wiser to the Weiser

Much easer to do in the future hopefully :)
Flexin' those LPL skills!
always enjoy the videos if I know the technique or not. solid work.
Thanks it is good to know. I just hope I remember it.
Fortunately I have one of those Weiser tools. Unfortunately it seems like no one in Phoenix has a Weiser lock. Thanks just the same Jason.
Oddly enough, one of Weiser's knob designs is named Phoenix lol

good thing your locks have space to run something between the key and the plug
Thanks for the tip. like always.
Pretty cool Tip
I am now weiser after watching this video!
Great work, thanks for sharing!
Awesome Teaching once again! #Lockforce crew
Do you often come across knobs of similar construction where the knob has a a gap of 1/8 inch between the knob and rose?
You referring to the pop out knob style? No, only Weiser ever did that as far as I recall

@@selock yes to the style where the core comes out the front without removal from the door like the ones shown in this video

@@selock it was a Weiser Yukon that was that bad
Weiser was big in 60s and 70s
FYI-MBA still sells the shims! $4
Yep! I pinned the link right after I uploaded the video and on a whim, googled it :)
