Cheers Jason i have been watching your video's for a while now and like the way you show your day to day job's repairing or changing locks, repinning cutting key's, Back at the shop giving an insight into your day's of a Locksmith and i find them very interesting thank you and keep them coming please.
Thx for the Video Jason. One of the LFIC's I need to replace has keys (Bonus) The other one I needed to drill out due to being a restricted keyway that I did not have blanks for. Very informative.
Great info on these Everest System locks. I’ve only had to deal with one over the past few years and I just replaced it instead of reworking it. Now I may dig that baby out of my naughty bucket and reuse it now that I can get it apart. Thanks for the video.
those shimming using a pick must not know about using the key blank techniques. or sitting with a special profile and no blank for it. For that reason, I keep a collection of used restricted keys with 0 or close to, cut in the tip. Even the most extreme paracentric keyway let the right key blank in. The IC concept is one of the most evil scams. Replacing normal screws with a single copy of the only magic key to take the lock apart. A key that they will never have usage for, until the locksmith ask for it.
Jeff Moss I’ve never gotten one or seen one & Ive has to order them practically since the beginning of production. We had a new building built that was one of the first to use the S, and they needed a immediate Rekey. Not a single supplier had blanks, I called EVERY one 🙄 finally found out US lock had control keys only so my first batch all had CONTROL stamped on them 😂 ground every one off and used em as regular, my customer (cool guy) was like what’s that mean. I told him it means YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THESE LOCKS and he seemed cool with it :)
a bit of background Just recently bought this company and gearing up a case of cylinders,kiks etc I came across this "new" motice cylinder with an Everest core and no keys . I wanted to include it for service calls and the like but no keys so I had a few spare blank control keys etc and tried cutting a bumpkey and a control bump key to remove the core for pinning later so Just hauled the cylinder and housing out to make sure I wasn't wrong as i still have it and i noticed the check pin is missing so that may have helped bumping it , tried bumping it again and sure enough bumped to control. I dont know what the pins are like but i do know a 0 or a 1 cut key does't open it as it was "new" in the box when I bought the company but evidently it was pinned and the check pin removed. I will gut it this weekend and pin a new cylinder to see if bumping will work with the check pin installed. this video really has me thinking whether I was lucky or not
Matthew McCurdy there are best tension wrenches you can get to turn the inner housing to get it to control (Peterson) and then you push out the pins from the bottom and typically replace all. Everything about best requires certain tools and pinning kit however,it’s nothing like regular cores :)
the card is in the lock in the lock is locked I'm trying to get it out to rekey it or to replace the core I can send you a picture of the lock I am a licensed locksmith but I cannot get it picked over do you happen to have keys that can possibly help me get this picked over or can you do a video on best
Best way to go, I've worked on some absolute crap cylinders that are jammed and wont come out, in this case it will bump but only to the user position and not the control

Ha! I knew it would be on UA-cam. This video just scored me $20.
And thanks for the informative video, it helped and I learned something 👍
Ebay's got some S000 (all section keyway) control blanks.
I just cut some S123 keys at work today :)
Jeff Moss that new undercut makes the machines sound different when you cut
I think there is a shim that comes with the blanks but I've never used it.

can you do a video on medeco core and how to repind a medeco core thanks
Is it possible to get the cylinder cap removal tool through the hole in the back
I cut a control bump key and got it with that took about 10 minutes but it worked for me
Paul Chaulk lol I just left the same comment sir.

Paul Chaulk it will work Buddy I've done it here's my email bbacardi922@gmail.com if you have any problems my friend.
hey greatly appreciated I was starting to wonder whether I fluked it or not
Paul Chaulk I've done the same thing buddy.
How do you pick best the control if you have no keys and how can you take best apart to get keys to them
Matthew McCurdy there are best tension wrenches you can get to turn the inner housing to get it to control (Peterson) and then you push out the pins from the bottom and typically replace all. Everything about best requires certain tools and pinning kit however,it’s nothing like regular cores :)

jason can u make a video for the schlage primus system too?
Brian Grant nope :) I don’t do Primus or I would!
Thank you for the tutorial help me a lot
I've cut a control bump key. And it works my friend.
Best way to go, I've worked on some absolute crap cylinders that are jammed and wont come out, in this case it will bump but only to the user position and not the control
What depth cut is the control pin%
great information! Thank you!
