It amazes me the vast world of locks and keyways that I discover both in the field and through awesome content like this. Even after training for months in a very busy community and having my own mobile business in a not so busy community, I run into some lock, panic bar, auto programming, key-forged-on-mars-that-I-have-to-spend -$1,200.00-to-buy-in that has me on my knees cursing the Locksmith gods that torment me so. Anyway.. Lori Style..got it! Thanks for having a resource if I need it Jason!
This is a great video, thanks Jason. I have a Lori deadbolt with a loose cylinder that’s been bothering me for months, that I just haven’t gotten around to fiddling with yet. Your video helps big time so thank you! For future viewers, it looks like the Lori 5/64 long Allen wrench is a little over 3” long and goes by “Kaba Ilco/Lori 4500-80-4016 Long Allen Wrench”
Well done once again I've yet to deal with one of these. But i did notice the similarities to the Corbin Russwin. This is what the #LOCKFORCE TRIBE is all about sharing pertinent information.
Incase anybody doesn't know, you can scan or take a picture of instructions and print them to a file and or save as filename.Pdf so any device can view it or you can send it any way you want to other people or archive it. Nice lock, Have a great day
Thanks for sharing and passing on your tips and tricks. Sorry not made many live’s recently.. life been hectic but catching up on my videos :-) Take care ⭐️
If your mobile locksmith, these are good to have in a pinch when you don’t want to carry a whole bunch of different keyway deadbolts. Plus they come in different finishes. Only downside is they’re fairly expensive. I have grade 1’s much cheaper and save the Lori’s for emergency use when I want a non common keyway or just need something that’s keyway flexible to complete a job. Thanks for sharing!
I used these for a customer who had rental properties. Used LO80 keyway. Had to "fix" tailpiece a number of times. Used a 1-1/4 cylinder in a pinch once.
trim, retaing screws,full thread screws, plate cut them in half and use for a space for latchs when deep, 455 olds ram rod rocket.....need scar plate great show very informative
good hint using a blank, just incase it is a little tight and the precut is designed so the first cut is the deepest. And this is another lock where you are more or less lost unless you know what you are dealing with. If you use the cylinder without the spacer ring, it looks like some key designs will have a problem with the bow hitting the outer ring.
Your video helped me a lot with the shop door dead bolt that was really loose. It's in a steel door and it has different spacers on Inside and outside cylinders so it not center in the door. I need to figure out what spacers to get to make it equal and also when I tighten the 2 screws that holds the plate in the door jam area the tighter the screws the harder it makes the locker to function. I think because it's not center in the door so it binds when I tighten them plate screws.
The Corbin Russwin ones always seemed like the casting quality was just a bit nicer than the originals or the Ilco. So I guess they use a different company than the others but the same patent number.
There was a while where I collected these for some reason, I still have a Corbin, a Russwin, a few original Lori's as well as a Corbin-Russwin. I also have some of a much older desging that used a goofy tiny hook-on latch in a separate cast latch body that had phillips screws that both attached the latch body the lock case and also acted as the set screws.
My dad used Lori double cylinder deadbolts on his house and shop. All the doors are 9 light style, and there's no screws on the inside to unscrew after breaking windows.
I haven't run into these very often in my area. On average where would folks say you encounter these most frequently? Office Buildings or something of that sort?
In our area it’s actually a higher percentage of homes in no small part to it being one of the number one choices used by our and one other locksmith here in town during the ‘80’s-‘90’s :) I’d say 40% homes, 40% back doors on like “strip center type” businesses where there’s one building split into 4-8 units & 20% warehouses/industrial
Do you have a suggestion of a good wholesale locksmith supplier that I can buy these from? Thanks in advance from Chuck with WJ Locksmith LLC in North Carolina. I enjoy watching your videos and you have given me many helpful hints in the past.

I have never seen one of these before. Excellent Video. I may have to buy me one to play with.
Thanks for the info! I have one of these, an actual Lori brand on my back door and couldn't use it because the locks just spun. 5/64 to the rescue!

likely may need one of those wave/spring washers or a really thin regular collar to snug it up :)
Loved the photo of the poor Alarm Guy trying to get it off...

They also come in handy on really thick doors with longer cylinders. Good video 👍

Good video didn't know they where called Lori locks before this but did know they used mortice cylinders
Solid info here. Thanks for sharing. 👍
thanks jason great information and video👍👍👍

great video as always!

GMS used to offer these as well, not sure they still sell them. Good locks.
I remember the first time I ran into this lock. About drove me bonkers figuring out how to get it apart to rekey.
Great Information Jason You Are Awesome As Always : > )
Thanks, I haven’t installed one yet.

IDN or Banner are my two main sources for these
Off topic, but what brand mortise cylinders are those?
Those are LSDA cylinders
premature publish! I hate it when that happens!
