Bought a Sargent LFIC and a LFIC padlock. Did not match up. Really needed this lesson before I bought these. New to Locksport and learning as I go. Respect you knowledge and appreciate you sharing it. Thanks 🇺🇸
Great info on the FSIC, one of my favorite cores. Did you know that schlage made a SFIC Everest core as well. Not many people know about it as they went over to the FSIC. Thanks for sharing, Happy Pickin
While it’s certainly a cool idea, I’ve never been a huge fan of these Schlage cores due to how they can be removed without a dedicated shearline by turning the core 180 and probing the control pin. I had one of these come out unintentionally, it was a cal royal copy of this same core.
I agree. On the SFIC, you have to pick a completely different sheer line or have a Control key. But with LFIC, you either pick to operating and pick the 7th control pin or if you have and operating key, duplicate it on to an appropriate prepared blank and create the 7th cut for control. Either system has its vulnerabilities but LFIC seems to be more vulnerable.
@@Loose-Shirt6551 some lfic cores such as medeco or Sargent use the center 2 pins, Corbin russwin cores use the center 4 chambers, assa uses the rear 4 pins. Only Schlage and yale have the 7th position pin. Although medeco cores can be rotated 180 and the center two driver pins can be picked due to lack of build up pins.
Ok, please steer me in the right direction. I have the lever handle off the lock. I have the lock picked open, (no control key, or working key). Any way to still release that core so I can rekey it and make a new control key?
Very nice, just getting into sfic but I have seen the schlage lfic and wondered just how it worked. you could file the pre 92 actuator to fit the retaining pin from post 92 cores, couldn't you? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

But I forgot to say. Excellent presentation!

Nice tutorial.
Are all schlage cores keyed the same from the factory? I have 6 Cipher locks and need to install all 6 and only have one control key.

I suppose you could. Don't see why not!
love your video thanks
Well done
Just remove the pin and use regular follower
Without measuring one, I'm pretty sure control cut is a 6.
Scott Galloway 3-7 will work but per factory specs it is a 7 depth in the 7th cut.
