Now this stuff you do not fine in locksmith school. Thanks for showing us.

Very cool video 👍 I think you’re the only channel that shows anything worthwhile about working on antique locks. After I get in the new shop, I’m gonna work on that little hutch lock you gave me that takes a flat key.

Thank you Jason for this excellent video. Your methodology in realigning the hutch lock permitted us vital knowledge when working with metal and tolerances, and to reach a valid conclusion when problem solving (such as this, where the customer used the wrong key and forced the lock). This is real world trouble shooting. My father was a tool and die maker for the automobile industry and often spoke of the importance of metal tolerances when creating a master die. Locking systems have very high tolerances, especially in high security applications. Thanks, again! (BTW, Space X Falcon Heavy was successful in launching ARABSAT - 6A in early evening, and in recovering all three booster rockets with retro-burn, two at The Cape and one on a drone barge). Go For It!

Hi Jason. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I did wonder if it's a StarsKey problem with this Hutch lock. Thanks again for your time.

Oh my gosh, I was on the edge of my seat holding my breath at 9.40 when the bolt was in the vise. Great rescue, you sir are a master at your craft. Cheers Jason 👍🇦🇺

Very cool video! It is very nice of you to take the time to fix that for that lady. Very well done! (I like the new key better btw.) 👍

the true art of locksmithing

Thank you for saving that old lever lock. ( I always thought that part was called a thing a MiG a jig not a thing a bobber). Great job and hope you guys are having a great week

Nice job. Can't wait for the live.

I’ve had a run on cabinet lock keys for the last 3 weeks. The locks all need some TLC. I love to repair and make keys for these.

Cool fix Jason. If it was me I prob would have put that 4/40 screw in the drill and file some of the threads away except the tip that screws into the main housing. Saves drilling out the levers.

I can hear her now. "How can it be the wrong key ? I've always used that key" "That was the key my grandmother gave me with that cabinet" Sorry but that substitute key is pretty ugly.

Ooooh- I enjoyed that! :D

Also, your bench was clean. How'd that happen?;)

I've got an old bookcase with a lock like that one. After moving house, I couldn't turn the key to open it. It's like a spring keeps pushing out the key when I try to turn it. The key is just like the one in the BBB Ideo. Tubular barrel, the h ok let in the centre won't stay in the corresponding nub inside the lock. I'm tearing my hair out.

If you need to create a set screw, cut the head off and use a dremel to cut a groove in it for a flathead. Congratulations, you have a set screw.

Ma'am, are you sure I can't interest you in this high security cam lock ? Just kidding, nice fix there Jason, catch you on Saturday morning live

Do you fix these locks?

Out of curiosity, were would one be able to purchase a half mortise lock for a display case? I've been having a lot of difficulties trying to find one and was hoping you could help. Thank you in advance

That locks ready for the liquor cabinet, but that key is butt ugly..., just saying. Thanks Jason. Have a good night.

have you threaded your finger y et? I have. locktite is an anaerobic compound, it works in the absence of oxygen.

If it's just used to keep the door closed, a magnet kit for 50 cents will do the trick but not so authentic. :/ Since when do people fix stuff now days anyway?🤔🤑
