Technician extraordinaire indeed!! My segal lock is about 15 years old (vintage) but thanks to this vid I was able to bring it back to life... thank you!!
Ian, you literally saved my day!!! My lock freakishly has a broken spring inside. I didn't know that this morning and I was worried about taking it apart and being unable to put it back together. That is until I found your video! Once i took it apart and learned about the broken spring, i knew i only needed a replacement part. I even spoke with the company themselves once I knew what was wrong, and they were unsure I could do it since they have no instructional videos online. I told them, "No worries, this guy Ian has got it on lockdown, so I know just what to do." I am a naturally handy chick around the house being the first born to a retired Marine Corp sergeant and stubbornly independent. So thank you for making it possible for me to save the crazy expensive cost of a locksmith, and/or another $60 spent for a new one of these locks, by showing me how to reassemble the lock myself!
Wow! You made my day. I'm so happy the video helped. Your father is retired Marine?! I am former USMC also. 1982 to 1986 active duty. 3/4 and 1/6. Tell your father a fellow US Marine thanks him for his service. Thanks for your response. It truly brought me joy.
Thank you!!!, I'm a woman it took me time but I did it. It was almost midnight my lock didn't close but thank to beautiful person like you , I could make it myself.
Thank you for your comment. I so needed it. It lifted my spirit in these tough times and reminded me that life indeed does go on. I'm so glad it helped.
Thanks Ian. I have a set of very old Segal locks & had all 4 tumblers replaced several years ago. Inside & out. This morning, I was off to work & the darn thing wouldn't lock from the outside. Inside it was good, not outside. I took it apart & the darn 'Jesus' spring flew off. Saw your video & put it back together, with a light spray of lube. Mine was slightly different, it didn't have a tab that went under the spring. Pretested it, looked good. Installed it & it's working like NEW. Thx for the clear video & presentation. * a 'Jesus' Clip/Spring is one that goes flying off & you go 'Jesus' where did that go.
On mine the keyhole cylinder is loose but the lock works great. I don’t see any screws to just get the keyhole or front faceplate off without removing the entire lock from the door. Is there a set screw I can tighten anywhere? Don’t see it in the video
Every now and then I get positive feedback from this video and it always lifts my spirit to hear that it helped. Thank you so much for your response. Glad it helped.
Does anyone know where you can purchase a spring like that? Home Depot perhaps? Thanks for the video, these locks are simple yet effective and it's always great to have a video showing how to put the tiny parts back in place!
Parts? That's a manufacturers question. I doubt the manufacturer would be interested in offering replacement parts for this lock. Not cost effective. They want you to buy a new lock and, in my opinion, that's good business. I'm just a guy that figured out how to repair his lock when he found himself in a jam. Figure it out or pay the man. I figured it out. I was so happy, I had to share it. It makes me happy when I hear it helped people. Should have begged for subs. Lol. One last thing. My advice when it comes to replacing parts in a lock is, buy a new lock.
Thanks for the video. I have a friend who's knob fell off her Segal lock and now she can't enter her garage from inside the house. What do think is the best way to open that lock with no knob and can the knob be reinstalled?
I'm no pro and am only giving my own opinion based on my personal experience. Based on that, what you described sounds like the kind of structural failure caused by some sort of direct impact to the handle. I don't believe it is repairable. Sorry but, I think you need a new lock.
The video basically shows you how to take it apart and put it back together. If the problem is part of the mechanism slipping out of place or not tight enough, I'm confident it will work. Good luck.
I did not experience that problem but someone did comment on having a problem with a loose knob on the lock. I believe a loose knob is likely the result of damage such as something banging on the knob or the door opening wide and hitting the wall behind it. I cannot advise on how to fix that. If it is really loose, likely it will fall off sooner or later which will leave you unable to unlock the door. Could be a problem if you need to get through that door in a hurry. I'll look into it a little more to see if I can come up with something but my suggestion right now is, invest in a new lock. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes! That's exactly how I felt. Good luck man.
I'm so glad it helped. I too am a former Marine. I thank your parent for his, or her service. Thank you for the kind words. Made my day.

Ian, I've successfully repaired my godrej lock.. thankyou for the detail video 🙏🏾
Just messed up my lock trying to swap the cylinder. This video was very helpful in putting it back together. Thanks!
when you described the whole thing popping apart... so exactly how i was looking at it, too! why are people afraid to fix their own things?
Thanks Ian.
I have a set of very old Segal locks & had all 4 tumblers replaced several years ago.
Inside & out.
This morning, I was off to work & the darn thing wouldn't lock from the outside.
Inside it was good, not outside.
I took it apart & the darn 'Jesus' spring flew off.
Saw your video & put it back together, with a light spray of lube.
Mine was slightly different, it didn't have a tab that went under the spring.
Pretested it, looked good.
Installed it & it's working like NEW.
Thx for the clear video & presentation.

Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you. You made a not so good day better. I get a few thank you comments, and they always lift my spirits. Glad it helped.
Does anybody else have a small L shaped metal piece that keeps the spring loaded hinge in place that came outta place?
I don’t have one of these. But I’ve been dying to know how they work!
Interesting in its simplicity, right.
Thanks for the video. I have a friend who's knob fell off her Segal lock and now she can't enter her garage from inside the house. What do think is the best way to open that lock with no knob and can the knob be reinstalled?
The knob didn't just fall off. It had to be knocked off with force. Not reparable. Solution. Buy new lock.
Hi, would this help me my knob is very loose, it does turn to lock and unlock but turns alot with no tension?
I'm no pro and am only giving my own opinion based on my personal experience. Based on that, what you described sounds like the kind of structural failure caused by some sort of direct impact to the handle. I don't believe it is repairable. Sorry but, I think you need a new lock.
The turning knob is loose on mine. Will this help?
The video basically shows you how to take it apart and put it back together. If the problem is part of the mechanism slipping out of place or not tight enough, I'm confident it will work. Good luck.
What can I do to fix my segal deadbolt lock if my knob inside the door is loose? Anyone have this problem?
I did not experience that problem but someone did comment on having a problem with a loose knob on the lock. I believe a loose knob is likely the result of damage such as something banging on the knob or the door opening wide and hitting the wall behind it. I cannot advise on how to fix that.
