My father always said expect the worst and hope for the best. I've had a residential job that was suppose to be a simple replacement of an entryway knob. Turned into hours of work and a trip to the local Home Improvement store. Then the guy fusses when handed the bill. I quoted him $50 since he lived a few miles away and the lock he wanted was fairly cheap. Ended up charging around $115 which was still a discount considering the labor. Done him right and he goes off telling folks lies about how I overcharged him
Wow!!! Some Fock up locks!! 😬😅 Great job sorting then out!!! Cool video!!!👍 Hopefully you got paid somewhere close to what the job was worth 👍 🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🍻👏👏👏👏
This stuff always happened to me when I was a carpenter. Though I just replaced locks and repaired the doors back then. What a mess you walked into and a late end to the day. Having a lock pull out into your hand is always a uh oh that is not meant to happen moment and then the following diagnoses for why it has occurred shows a multitude of issues to overcome. Thanks for taking us to work really enjoy these on the job videos, cheers
Thanks for showing us what a day in the life of a locksmith is like. However you left out the best part with you having to figure out how to fix it. We are shown the mess and then the miraculous repair. I’m interested in the details of how you resolved the problems. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Hopefully you video the nitty gritty parts next time. Thanks
Hi and thank you for your comment. The nitty gritty can sometimes seem pointless and tedious. Also I will come under a lot of fire from other locksmiths who already know how to fix these things but wish others didn't get such detail. In this case though I was unable to hold the camera and repair at the same time. I will consider what you have said and see if it can be applied to the next job.
Hi and thank you for your visit and kind words. The City Rake is a real 'Lucksmith' type of tool but, because it's somewhat frowned upon by others in the picking community, I find it amusing and effective to use.
I really enjoyed this! It's what locksmithing has been like in my experience. I've stopped telling my wife it's only a cylinder change and I'll be back shortly. Brian more of this stuff would be awesome. Many thanks for taking the time to make these videos
My goodness what a job you had to do on this property. looks like they had locked themselves in and was trying to get out. Almost a miracle performed here.
Great job. Not sure if it’s your style but I’d love to see how the veto works out for a lockie. Been looking at them for a while but can’t justify it at the moment as not sure how it would work out for me.
More on the job videos would be great. Picking locks in a vice is good to watch, but the difference of a live job with all the variables is so much more interesting.
Haha my last just a quick lock change turned out to be a landlord locked out of his property by tenants who had done a runner and wanted £1500 for the keys. He then phoned a £39er who drilled the core out of a Ultion 3 star and promptly and couldn't gain entry and got told where to go when he announced was now at least£300. Poor sucker me then arrived !!!!
I love the lingo…coathangers, Pandora’s box of bent metal and cans of shite. 😂😂😂 love it. Great vids as standard. Thanks Brian

It's best to smack it with an adjustable wrench or sledge hammer to get the old lock out and slam the new lock in.🤣

seen a few damaged centre cases dont know how they manage to cause so much damage
Another top job no better man for the job boom 💥
Looked like a prolox you put in, we use those also
Lol polishing a turd, until I became a locksmith I didnt think it was possible.
