spoiler- it’s just like any other A series lock ;) Here is the link to Nite0wl's video on this lock • (105) Schlage Wafer lo... where at the end he mentions I might do one. Well....here is one of them :)
I finally found a complete residential version of this Schlage wafer door lock, and had to re-key it an original Schlage key. I've been looking for a long time, since it was the first type I re-keyed from way back when I was a teen and still at home. Have a great day, thanks for the video.
It’s always amazes me how complicated these types of locks are. I always feel like they are deliberately over complicated to stop the general public from Doing It Yourself lol. I’d never get to see anything like these if it wasn’t for yourself Jason Thank you very much for all of your videos I know you probably think of them as boring but it’s very educational to us mere mortals lol. Hope you & Kim had a fantastic Christmas and you both have an amazing new year.
Great video. Was able to take apart and key alike a Yale clone of this lock missing the key. Had to remove two wafers to get the other key to work but it isn't used in an external door so no real loss of security.
When I first started taking locksmith classes, our teacher gave a lecture on how to master key these locks. I didn't really understand the lecture but I just replace these with a Kwikset or a residential Schlage.
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas. Thanks for good info. I would like to second the sentiment about seeing a rekey video. It would be neat to learn about.
@@selock Yep, and I put the springs in after instead of before cause they wanted to show their asses. Did you pin all those other locks? There are wicked looking cuts on the keys. The large Klein screwdriver set has a bit in it that fits these hundred year old sewing machines like it was made for it. All my other screwdrivers the tips were too thick. thanks again.
@@selock Thank you so much. The blue handles threw me. I've collected and used Snap On tools for over 30 years but I prefer Channellock pliers to theirs and I had never seen that type. Thank you for posting the video. It was really well done and so helpful. My home was built in 1960 and I recently disassembled and polished the original brass A series Schlage doorknobs. I even have the two original keys with the numbers stamped on them. If it weren't for your video I would still be trying to get it apart!
LockPicking Patrolman I waited 14 minutes inside at ours last night and was the only person in there (aside from drive thru) guess we deserve it for eating there ;)
yes that is what would be best to do nowadays but 95% are gonna choose a f series replacement considering the cost difference! These are more a novelty nowadays but many still in use!
