Spent a few hours today trying to figure out why a Spent a few hours today trying to figure out why a concealed vertical rod exit device kept not locking. Turned out some idiot dropped a castle nut in the door probably ten years ago and it was sometimes hanging up on the threads of the vertical rod. Argh. #locksmithlife #modularsynth
This mortise lock was missing important parts that This mortise lock was missing important parts that made it pretty unsafe. After replacement people can still jump the fence i guess.
Lined em all up and opened a nice old cannon gun s Lined em all up and opened a nice old cannon gun safe today. Got tipped a pretty nice toolbox full of drill bits. Wish they gave me one of the mossbergs but pretty happy with the drill bits!
Spyder drill bits are no joke. Anybody who's drill Spyder drill bits are no joke. Anybody who's drilled out a stripped screw knows how fast it wears down a drill bit. I drilled out a stripped 1/4x20 screw and then drilled several pilot holes in this tube steel. No visible damage to the drill bit afterwards! It's still being abused on a daily basis. #spyder #locksmith

People were breaking into this building every nigh People were breaking into this building every night. The next day the building management would call these guys out to replace their levers with the same cheap levers! I replaced them with Marks gate latches. No lever to force on the outside of the door. Much better building security.
This is now the most secure walk in refrigerator i This is now the most secure walk in refrigerator in Seattle! Originally just had a lever. Subsequent break-ins have required ever more severe solutions culminating in a steel interlocking astragal, two deadbolts and a grade 1 lever with the return cut off to prevent prying attacks. You get what you vote for, Seattle!

An aluminum astragal with duronodic finish. There is a very tight gap between the astragal and the door frame.
