Repairing Hotel Interconnected Locks
Long story short is a hotel has these Schlage Interconnect "hotel function" locks and the doorknob was ALWAYS locked. They aren't supposed to be whats called "storeroom function", needing a key every time to open the door (even being "unlocked" on the inside)
Occasionally the people renting rooms would at some point find themselves locked out of the room and some of those people decided they would kick the door in.
There is 2 ways to make this repair, one being a total replacement of all of the locks and these aren't cheap!! Each lock is around $500 plus you still need them installed correctly.
I called Schlage and spoke to the engineering department and they gave me the option #2 to remove...

How to remove a broken key in a lock!
Просмотров 144 тыс.2 года назад
Most people don't have fancy Locksmith tools and occasionally find they broke a key off inside their lock. DON'T PANIC! There is a way to get it out without the stupid superglue or other gimmicks. I'm trying to use every day items you may find in your home, car, or around the house to help you fix it. If your 1st attempt isn't successful, stay calm and try again. Good luck and I hope this video...

What Is "Rekeying"?
Просмотров 5012 года назад
I have a customer every now and then that doesn't know what "Rekeying" means. They could be worried that the old previous keys would still work so this is my explanation of what it means to rekey a lock. If the locks are of good quality and in good shape, it may be more economical to just rekey the existing locks. I am certainly not a professional reporter or a "Mike Rowe". I dont have any fanc...

1st test result on January 11, 2020
Просмотров 444 года назад
During a "rain, snow, and ice storm" I tried the cylinders to see if any would work. I was pretty surprised one actually worked with no issues at all. The rest were frozen. Obviously this is not the normal conditions for locks. I also dont have "every" lock lubricant on here. I can make it bigger if I ever conduct another test.
Lock Lubricant Trial 2019-2020
Просмотров 664 года назад
Lubricants for locks has been a rollercoaster for years. Every locksmith has a favorite. I want to find out for myself what I should be using. My trial has no sponsorship and it's purely for my own opinion. I purchased the trial materials and have no affiliation to any manufacturer whatsoever. I want to know what will work best in the extremes. Not maintained use of the lubricant, these locks w...

    Mike, thank you very much. Your video was the best I found here. Your explanation on how, was the bees 🐝 knees. Got my broken 🔑 out of the ignition. Had to defeat 2 rows of pins and the sensor switch pin all at once. Just bending the tip of the wire information was the key for success. Thanks again.

    i'm glad you said to use concrete if you have access to a file, concrete, brick walls, stucco walls even asphalt have all saved my but one time or another when i needed to fix something out in the middle of nowhere didn't have a tool i needed. although i can't remember why i needed a long thin piece of metal but i remember one being out in the middle of the desert and driving my car up and down the highway to grind a piece of steel i found into the shape i needed, sometimes you just have to find a way to make what you got work.....

    Thank you Uncle Mike, this worked like a charm! I accidentally removed the whole desk lock, but can confidently say the key is not stuck anymore 😂

    • @unclemikeslocksmith5530
      @unclemikeslocksmith5530 Месяц назад

      @TiramisuSW You can reinsert the lock cylinder. Visit a Locksmith and they can make you a "core key" to put the cylinder back in the lock body. It's actually able to be put back in using your paperclip but it's a lot easier with the key intended to put it back in. Nice job though 👏 I'm glad you regained access.

    I was skeptical at first after watching other videos and this one but astonishing nonetheless right after this video I tried lubricating with Lysol, amazingly “It worked after several tries, I was amazed and started to yell with happiness. God Bless. Thank you.

      That's 100% why I made this video my friend! I can't believe some of those actually exist. I'm really happy you got yours out, super awesome job!!!! I know the feeling of success getting them out. I've run into some tough ones in the job and of course the customer doesn't understand how tough this can actually be so it's a 1 man celebration. Outstanding work buddy! Glad it helped you.

    2024 I attest, the paper clip technique works! I was successful after less than one minute of effort. You have to get the feel of the inside of the lock to get to the end of it. I got behind the nub of the key and it slipped out. I did douse the lock with WD 40. Thank you very much!

    God bless you good sir!!! You just saved my evening. Key broke off as I was locking my front door this morning. When I came home from work I had a spare key and a pair of pliers from my office. Wasn’t enough key to grab with the pliers. Found a paper clip outside after watching your video (that might be the biggest miracle here) and it helped to get the key out just enough to grab with the pliers. I can’t thank you enough.

    Thanks very much. I used your method with a long needle sized dental pick that had a right angle on the end that I use for electronics and it worked the first time. My brother snapped off a key deep inside a Medeco lock and using your technique I extracted the broken key on the first try without using any WD40.

    Damn, mine broke pretty flush. No room to get something in there to lift the pins, any ideas? I’m thinking of modifying some pliers but I’d rather not do that if I don’t have to. Good video though! Good to know, even if it doesn’t apply to this edge case here lol.

    Thanks. Just had a key break off in the lock. Had the paper clip but no players to bend it. Used the key opening to put a slight bit of paperclip in to bend it in the 45 I needed. Did it the same fashion as you and popped out identical. Thanks again

    • @unclemikeslocksmith5530
      @unclemikeslocksmith5530 7 месяцев назад

      If you have enough of the key, yes. You need to have all the bitting so a Locksmith can measure the cuts and be able to cut you a few new ones. Just make sure to get at least a couple of them!!
