Hi Jason. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Yet again I am learning stuff. Because you always mention other factors to think about not just the key cutting. Thanks again Jason for edumicating us.
I know it’s not particularly relevant, but this seems like the place to seek information so here goes nothing. I acquired a roll top desk and replaced the key. It didn’t work, I thought the lock was jammed. I unscrewed it. It works fine when it’s out of the desk, but the key refuses to turn when the lock is installed- what could be the problem?
@@pouncerminned863 I see, so basically the whole mechanism needs enough Y-axis wiggle room to function. I noticed that compressing it against the desk or via the screws along the Y-axis prevents function. Thanks so much for your input, have a great day.
So I have a locked cabinet that has the same type of key. It looks like a skelton key but has a hole at the end. The key broke while trying to unlock it and I need to find a replacement. I had a locksmith come in and he didn't't have the right size. If I can't find a key that fits, we will have to break the glass to gain access. Open to any suggestions. I have a picture of the lock as it was also on the lower part of the cabinet. Looks similar to the one you were showing. should I find another locksmith? Can I order these keys somewhere?
I need to stop watching and start doing. I bought the parts to convert one of my old cutters into a slotter about 6 months ago, but I have not done the conversation yet.
Take it from me....this is way too simplistic....THAT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL ANTIQUE LOCK WHERE YOU CAN SEE INSIDE. It must be a US design because I never see this type in the UK or on continental boxes with exception of French ones....want to make a key ?......take the back plate of first so you can see the workings....and life will be much simpler
Thanks for your multiple comments on videos. It is clear from both of those videos you cannot "easily" remove the backplate and really wasn't needed. I'm thrilled you never see this type of lock in the UK. In the US these locks are not a common thing for locksmith's to work on. Have a great day. Stop being pedantic
I always enjoy watching the videos of lever locks--and the "squaring of the key" to fit before anything else can get started.

Always a joy to watch the master in action!
Thanks, I appreciate your wealth of experience.
You have one of shows worth watching.
love the sticker on the grinder!
Great video as always, thanks for making this Jason 😊🙏👏
So good to see a Master at Work... I can set and watch one work all day #LOCKFORCE
I know safeties third but what's first and second?
Great video, gotta do things in order, or you just start over...
Have a great day

Thanks again!
Somebody once told me the world was gonna owe me.... If you get this, congrats for paying attention, lol.

try not to over tighten the screws holding in the lock
@@pouncerminned863 that seems to have been the issue, thanks a bunch. I don’t understand mechanically why it needs less tension like that.
@@BrightDecision i think due to tolerances? i am not sure myself exactly

good job
How much for a lock key ? My lock looks pretty much the same.
Not a particularly difficult one ,but for a septic who doesn't deal with lever locks on a regular basis it was a good job
