    The link for the mortise was a life saver. None of my local places had the type with the face plate on it, which is the one I need. Thank you

      You are welcome. Yeah, it's hard to find the exact model you need at local stores. I had the same issue. There are a variety of good options online, though. Glad the link helped you out. Thank you for watching and commenting!

    They are those made so cheap and break? My lock is not working as well. Thanks for the step by step instructions on how to fix this!

    • @MCFIXIT
      @MCFIXIT  3 роки тому +1

      Not sure why they break down over time. This one has lasted almost 17 years so that’s a pretty good lifespan. We use that door and lock multiple times a day and the sun hits it for most of the day to sunset since it’s directly west. But yeah, I wish things lasted longer!

    My doorwall has an exterior keyhole that I don't have the key for. Can this be changed?

    • @MCFIXIT
      @MCFIXIT  Рік тому +1

      Yes. But you would need to find one with a key lock. This is only an interior lock

    • @kowen5323

      The cylinder is usually very easy to replace. If your current handle is in good shape, there's no reason to replace more than the cylinder.
      If you need it matched to other locks, you'd need a locksmith, but it can be done.

    The white buttons you're pushing with your finger spin no matter how hard I push with even pliers. It's to the point the screws are just about stripped out and I'm thinking about using a drill bit through the screw. Any ideas on how to get the screw handles out when they're so stuck like that?

    • @MCFIXIT
      @MCFIXIT  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, it sounds like you might need to drill through the screw to get it off. Be careful and choose the right sized bit so you don't do any unnecessary damage!

    • @MCFIXIT

      You might be able to use a pick to get in there and turn it. Also a small flathead might do the same thing. You should be able to move it where the lock is, but you've got to get the right angle and tool to fit in there. Good luck on your project!

    I think you bought the wrong lock. There are two styles, 45 degrees and vertical. Look at 2:55 , they don't match. Now with the new lock, your lever is in a different position.

    • @MCFIXIT

    • @kowen5323
      @kowen5323 Рік тому

      On this type of handle it doesn't make much difference.
      99% of the time the 45° is the right one.
      Personally, I would have flipped the mortise lock to lock up. If the door has room to be lifted, pointing down is not as secure. I would have also kept the old keeper because there wasn't any wiggle room. The lock does have adjustment, but they usually come already maxed out. You need a little wiggle room or it's likely to have problems in the future.
