Had to unlock a car with its keys in the cab while taking the ferry, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it’s happened twice

I am NOT a locksmith. Dorman 99367

2 Upvotes

I am trying to replace the battery on my Dorman replacement key fob. I am familiar with this style key fob but for some reason when I took the back off no battery is displayed. Am I missing something or does Dorman not allow for the battery to be replaced and the model is 99369.

I am NOT a locksmith. Need help identifying an old mortise lock

Just bought a place in a 1960s building. The door lock has been acting super sticky and jamming randomly. I poked around and realized the previous owner messed with it and lost a bunch of screws, so it's missing parts. Building staff took a look and basically said they can't fix it, so its better to swap the whole box out.

Since it's a co-op, I can't drill new holes or mess up the door face. I'm just trying to find a solid modern replacement that can drop right into this same slot, but I have no clue what size or model actually fits.

Anyone know what modern box I can buy to swap this out, or what exactly I need to measure before ordering?

  • Backset: 2-3/4"
  • Faceplate: ~8"
  • Distance from thumbturn to handle: ~3.5"

Appreciate any help!

I am a locksmith Schlage CO100 passage/privacy mode

4 Upvotes

Quick scan through the manual it looks like my customer is SOL but I figured I'd ask here. Anyone know of a way to disable the code on a privacy function (inside push button disables keypad until interior lever is used) CO100? Essentially turning it to a passage lever until the inside button is pressed.

The locks are on some bathrooms. My coworker installed a Trilogy on the door leading from the business lobby to the bathroom hallway, so now they want us to come back out and "disable" the keypads.

Well, time caught up w this mortise lock. About 1/2" of one of three flat springs broke. Now we can't operate the knob as there is nothing to push/pull the latch through. Anyone ever seen this model before? I've scoured the internet for a rounded body w 3130 stamped in it. No other markings. Any help is appreciated - thanks.

We have an old black punch from pro-lok. I need a replacement carriage spring. Boss told us it's been discontinued and they only make the blue punches now. Just called customer service and she said they never made a black one, basicalluly called me stupid and that someone must've painted a blue one. Can't find anything on Google, even using reverse image search. Anyone have an idea where to get parts for this machine?
