#locksmithing — Public Fediverse posts

Fahrradschlösser knacken (nur mit Geschick, ohne sie zu beschädigen) kann sooo Spaß machen 😀

Natürlich nur bei Freunden, wenn man sie vorher gefragt hat, oder bei eigenen Schlössern.

Anyone have a preferred source for barrel key blanks?

I'm ideally going to put some original locks back into a cabinet, but this isn't a single key solution. I'm going to need a few.

#Locksport
#Locksmithing
#Restoration

Attempting to source maybe 5 - 10 hollow barrel skeleton key blanks.

Instead of a lack of options, my internet search is providing me with too many options.

Once properly cut, these keys will be used - as such I want them to be more functional than decorative.

Thoughts?

Bit of a long video where I go over everything I’ve learned about SFIC over the past month and cap a core. #locksport #locksmithing #locksmith #sfic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9mjDpHyEJw

Did my first small SFIC system recently, helping a new property manager take over from a fired/unresponsive old one. Got to use #locksport skills including decoding a lockbox that the old manager left behind, raking a core to control (after many tries), and dumping/measuring/decoding a core to get the old system’s control key.

Also got to increase #locksmith knowledge and design & implement the new/better system; the old one was maison keyed and had no building master, the new one uses limited position progression and does have a master, which is a nice thing to have in the fire/Knox box!

I found this ABS Supply video series on “Locksmithing for the Door, Frame and Hardware Distributor, a Primer” at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAjeITEIHqeCh-e030LoFyhDfv3kJ3xCL extremely helpful for the #locksmithing stuff and some folks here might like it too. (The playlist is on my channel because ABS has a /ton/ of videos on its channel but didn’t have this series in its own playlist, so I made my own.)

Glad I ran across this article—apparently those little circular shavings after capping might not be my fault after all 🤣 “Best SFIC: Machined or Stamped Caps?” https://lockalchemy.com/best-sfic-machined-or-stamped-caps/ #locksmith #locksmithing #locksport #sfic

@mcdanlj I don’t know of anything exactly like what you’re talking about but it’s possible there are some things out there that are close; here’s a video I saw recently that is on the same topic, and I think he implies others have done similar work in the Altoid tin container format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y-y4rWkx-A #locksport #locksmith #locksmithing

I don’t do #automotive #locksmithing so I can’t evacuate CLK Supplies’ claim, but they say this Flip Key Pin Removal Tool is a “game changer” for “easy removal and replacement of roll pins, specifically designed for automotive flip keys” #locksmith https://www.clksupplies.com/blogs/news/affordable-excellence-the-flip-key-pin-removal-tool-every-automotive-locksmith-needs

#today I replaced the bottom pins in our front door lock because the old pins were worn and making it difficult to insert and remove keys. Three things made this easy:
1) The locksmith who last worked on our doors told me our pin combination so I didn't have to measure the old pins to figure it out.
2) Seeing this in my future, past me did present me a favor by buying a rekeying kit.
3) I spent time on Google and Youtube to learn what to do before I started.
