Broke a key off in my public storage lock is it possible to get that out

Asked by Adrian about 1 year ago

Yes you can. A locksmith has special tools to pull that broken key out without damaging the function of the lock in most cases.

how do you stop someone from pressing a butter knife on a doorknob latch and opening the door?

Asked by Shel over 2 years ago

You can install a latch guard to cover the gap between the jamb and the door. Or, if the lock is installed and adjusted correctly, you can’t pull the latch back. It’s designed to lock the latch in the extended position. https://youtu.be/x0Rl_j-xJhY?si=3paMiQhzjrwwkxnE

So I have a madeco lock I took apart the housing it was in and lost one of the parts there is like a threaded sleeve it goes in well I lost that sleeve can I still pick the lock or do I need that to continue ue

Asked by Jack about 1 year ago

Unfortunately I am not sure what part you’re talking about. I am not familiar with a threaded sleeve in a Medeco lock; but as long as you have all of the internals springs & pins you should be fine.
