Today i fixed a mortise lock on a big yacht in lak Today i fixed a mortise lock on a big yacht in lake Union. Locks on boats are either really expensive or really cheaply made but probably still expensive. This one's detent broke off so the bolt could slide around freely. Should've brought a six pack with me, beautiful view off the back of this coat. #locksmith
Interesting lock to fix today. This lock must've s Interesting lock to fix today. This lock must've seen some stuff! The set screws were both replaced with really short ones. The Thumblatch lock was bent so it couldn't engage. Most interestingly, there was a square hole cut into the case of this lock. I assume this was to manipulate the latch from outside the door through a small hole that would've been in the door over that part of the lock. If locks could talk! #antiquelock #mortiselock #locksmith
Fixed this mortise lock mailed from New York. Had Fixed this mortise lock mailed from New York. Had paint built up on the bolt and the spring at the top was broken so the latch didn't spring back out. This one is more interesting than many. It has a way to change the handing by sliding the metal part at the top up. It isn't hard to take apart and change the handing but this would be much faster for Norwalk lock customers 100 years ago. Strangely it requires a different key to unlock the latch. They probably won't pay me $35 to make that key. I should probably offer to disable that part of the lock or somebody will play around with it and lock everybody out someday! #antiquelock #mortiselock #locksmith
A homemade door closer. Composed of a spring and a A homemade door closer. Composed of a spring and a string. Somebody with knowledge and the unwillingness to pay $75 for a hydraulic door closer can accomplish things. Seen at The Walrus and Carpenter. Some people read their phones while waiting to be seated and others examine door hardware. I'm risking death from covid to bring you this content!

Awesome old von duprin mortise lock for a panic ba Awesome old von duprin mortise lock for a panic bar, old as dirt but cool design! It was malfunctioning because the last person working on it dropped the set screw inside the case where it jammed the latch so the door couldn't be locked. There it stayed for five years until today! Also a bad spring on the deadlatch. That would cause malfunctions like not being able to close the door. We also replaced the bright chrome lock cylinder with a less obnoxious aged bronze to match the 80yo oxidized brass hardware. #antiquelock #locksmith
